CONSERVATIVE MEETINGS, &c.

SEVENOAKS CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATIONS.--,The quarterly,
meeting of the Sevenoaks Conservative Association was held on
Monday, the 12th instant, at the Rose and Crown Inn. The
report of the state .of the register ,was. most favourable, and
there:can he no doubt that "conservatism" is taking rapid:
strides in, this neighbourhood. The good.sense of, this part of.
the .country seems at length returning, and the radicals
who have hitherto. " dived deeply" .into the:pockets of some of
thekparty, uow find them, closed against .a ".repetition of the,
offence." ,The conservatives must sacrifice something of their
ease and tranquility if they would benefit, their country„ and
before long it is hoped., that (in addition to local societies) we.
may find the rank, influence, and property of this county, pin-
ed, in
.one.general assnc:iation, determined with the, ersergy, and
zeal they possess, to, maintain and enforce -the ,spirit of our
glorious constitution in church state... Another election.
may not be far distant, the good and true men of Kent cap re-
turn two conservatives—there must. be no, hesitation on this:
point—no supineness; .again, " loyalty" shall be in the ascend-
ant employing those lawful means by which success is certain,
and (avoiding the triumph of pasty) let the struggle be, who
best may merit the title of protectors of our king, our country,
and constitution.—Maidstone Journal.

GREAT CONSERVATIVE DINNER IN YORKSHIRE

, . , •, .• , ,
BevEa Let, Stuei. 1.5.1::/ne. of the most numerous, and, in
reference to the presentpeculiar,aspeet of, political .affairs,one
off the .most iniportant tpe.etings that has ever occurred in. this
country, .not•excepting that recently heW in,Sotith Lancashire,
took place yesterday, at Beverley, .upon the occasion „of the as-
sembling of the East Riding Conservative Association. .
. At an early hour the town of Beverley began to fill with car-
riages and vehicles, from various parts of the West Riding, and
Such was the intensity of the interest created by the .meeting,
that persons from the extremity of the eastern. division of the
County, even at considerable personal inconvenience, made it
e point to attend, and numbers who applied late for tickets were
unable to procure them; the building being unable .to contain
More than the number that had been previously provided for.
The building was elegantly and appropriately decorated for the
occasion, and lined throughout with pink and crimson silk and
calico,. and hung round with garlands and festoons of flowers; it
was also. brilliaetly illuminated with gas.
About 830 persons sat down to dinner at the tables in the
building, and upwards, of 100 more dined in the assembly-room,
which communicated by folding doors with the more extensive
room.. Among the company present were Lord Hotham,
Chairman, Sir Thomas Legard, Vice-chair, Sir. Thomas Sykes,
Saltmarsh, Esq., A. ,Watt. Esq., Sir Henry Boynton, A.
Bethel, Esq., M.P.., —;Wilberforce,
.Esq., Mark Foules„ Esq.,
General Meister, W. West, Esq., A. F. Shaw, Esq., Sir T. A.
Constable, the Hon. C,apt. Jocelyn, George Chohnondely, Esq.,
Aldertnart.Hudson, Harrington Hudson, Esq., Rev. J. Bower,.
E. Bogshurst, Esq., T..E:ggipgtoil,• Esq. ..„• „
A.fter.the cloth was reinovefl,,,flie Benedictus" was sung by
thetprofessiOnal gentlemen engaged,for the occasion.
The, Chairman then said that thrfirst toast he should propose
was one to which the heart of every. true. Englishman would re-
" Church aud .King," (Loud cheers.)
Soug—" God,save,the
The next toast given was " The Queen." (Loud and long
Cowtinued cheers.) . • , .
Glee—", Here's a health to the Quean." •
The dhairroani,in.proposing the.next toast, said be had pur-•
posely,abstained hem accompanying the 'preceding toasts with
any .comment.or observation of his own., He.did so,upon the.
principle that such a course was the more respectfuloue towards
theirliajestaes„ and if he now departed from it, it. was.solely
from,the peculiar situation,in wbich..tbe Princess,.
whose health. he, now begged, to propose, ,was placed. Every,
Yerkshireman,would recollect that 'upon the occasion of her
Roya,l.Higline,ss visiting the county of York, a.short period since,
that her first visit was paid in furtherance of the cause of charity,
(deers.;) upon.l.oekilig at the peculiar situation in whiCh • she
Was placed, and that ,it was probable she would, at some future
perjod„be placed oe the throne of these realms, he felt sure that
all,present would concur with. him in toping that when that
time arrived,she would be so advised and pursue such a course
that neither the honour nor the character of this country would
be tarnished under her sway. (Loud cheers.) They must, at
the s,anie titne,recollect that on that particular point, much will
depend upon the education she may receive. ..Her illustrious
mether will, no doubt, take care that ,the Princess.. Victoria is
imbued. with those principles of true religion and sound morality,
which will be the bestguide to her Own peaCe and happiness
hereafter, and the best security to the nation.for her, proper and
satisfaCtory fulfilment of the arduous duties which may devolye
on her. (Cheering.)
Glee—" Hail, Star .of 13runsWick."
The Chairman next gave "The Army and Navy."
General Meister returned thanks. He stated that it must be
most gratifying to the members of the united service—united in
heart. and mind—to find that their former services in' the late
war had not been forgotten by thepeOple of England. (Cheers.).
. The Chairman then proposed the "Archbishop of York and
the clergy."
The Rev. Mr. Coltman acknowledged the toast.
The Chairman proposed " Success to the East Riding Con.:
servative Aisociation."

Mr. Bethell, M.P., proposed "The Health of his Grace the
Duke of Wellington and the Hotise of Lords."
. The Vice-Chairman then 'gave "Sir Robert Peel and the
House of Commons."

Lord nothatn said that, as a Member, of that honset:the duty
devolved on him to return thanks for the flattering manner in
which the toast had been received. Sir Robert had filled so
prominent a part, in the history of thecountry, that they must all
be acquainted with his political career. lt was only necessaryto read the debates published in the n'ewspapers, and.they would
thete find that the right hon. baronet was possessed of a power
and ability that, if equalled, had never been sUrPassed. (Cheers.)
A variety of other tpasts were afterwards proposed, and the,
meeting,,in consequence, Wils addressed by various other gen-
tlemen, and separated 'at a late hour.
