DREADFUL FIRE AND LOSS'.OR LIFE.—On Tuesday morn-
in;.: about half-past three o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in
'the house of Mr. Martin Bergani, tinman and brazier, Shoe-
oilker-row, Blackfriars, London, in which, we regret to state,
I.lrs. Bergani perished. The fire was first perceived by the
'watchmen, who instantly sprung their rattles. and knocked and
'rung at the door to arouse the inmates, who appear to have
:been buried in sleep Mr. Bergani had gone to bed, in the
front attic with his two children, at about ten o'clock on the
trevious night, leaving his•wife in the back parlour curling her

ANNIVERSARY OF THE WARRINGTON OPERA-
TIVE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The operative conservatives of the good loyal town of War-
rington • assembled at the Market house, on Tuesday last, to
celebrate The first anniversary of their association. The mem-
bers, amounting to about four hundred, sat down to a substan-
tial dinner, provided for the occ,sion by Mr. Kay, of the
Nag's Head. The room was tastefully decorated with appro-
priate banners, and a temporary gallery was fitted up for the re-
ception of•the ladies, mauv of whom, the wives and daughters
of the operatives, were present during the greater part of the
evening. This association has been on foot only about twelve
months, and was called into existence solely by the exertions
of a few noble-minded operatives, in order to counteract the
evil effects of radicalism, which was at that time beginning to
rear its head in the town of Warrington. The society now
numbers upwards of five hundred members The consternation
in the radical camp, caused by this great accession of the opera-
tives to conservatism, showed itselfin scandalous placards which
were plentifully distributed •throughout the public-houses, and
posted on the walls of the town, previous to the meeting, charac-
terising the dinner then about to take place as a " tory feed,"
and other equally stale assertions, always in requisition by the
radical faction throughout the country.
Mr. Thomas Wilson, an operative, occupied the chair,
and Mr. Henry Ibbotson, also an operative, was the vice-chair-
man.

--Among the gentry present of Warrington, and the surround.-
ing neighbourhood, were J. 1. Blackburne, Esq., M.P. for the
borough, Mr. Parr, banker, Mr. Fitchett, Mr. Nicholson, C.
Wilkins, Esq , barrister at law, Mr. Wagstaff, Mr. Garnett,
Captain Clare, and the Rev. Mr. Baines, Mr. Todd, and Mr.
-Jackson.

After the cloth was removed, the Chairman gas/ "His Ma-
jesty, the Duke of Lancaster," which was received with immense
applause, and drank with three times three. _ _ _ •

'The national' anthem was then sung by the professional gen-
tlen. u present.
-
"The Queen, the ornament of the throne." Three times three.
Glee—" Hail smiling morn."
"The Princess Victoria, and the other branches of the royal
family, and may they never forget the principles which seated
the House of Brunswick on the throne of these realms."
Grlee—" Hail, star of Brunswick."
" Our glorious constitution in church and state." Three times
three.

"The House of P aers as an independent branch of the legis-
lature, and may they ever prove themselves the friends of the
people, by maintaining our glorious constitution." Four times
four.

Mr. MALLEY, an operative, rose to respond to the toast. He
begged to assure them that it was with feelings of considerable
embarrassment that be rose to address them, and more particu-
larly so when be saw around him so many individnals whose
Tonkin Station andin life were so much superior to that of the
humble individual who then stood before them. • He would
claim theirattentiou for a few moments only, as the present
state of, bis physical powers prevented any great exertion on
his part. Yet, weak as he was, he was willing to spend and be
spent in thellorious cause they were that day met to celebrate
—the cause 'of cousertatism. However, he said, they might re-
gret the necessity for the formation of associations like the pre-
sent, there would be a still greater reason for regret if the evils
which then threatened, and would certainly soon come upon
the land,. were not averted by the powerful and organised means
of defence with which such societies surrounded its threatened
institutions. He contended that it was the duty of every man,
who professed to have any respect for the glorious constitution
under which' he lived, to come forward in support of that consti-
tution, now that it was assailed by the united forces of popery
and infidelity, but which, notwithstanding, had stood for ages
past, and would, under the blessing of God, yet stand—the ad-
miration of the world.

The speaker aat down amid loud cheers.
"The honourable and highly esteemed representative of the
borough, John Ireland Blackburn, Esq."
'The announcement of the toast was received with loud cheers,
which continued for several minutes. When the enthusiasm
of the meeting had somewhat subsided,
Mr. BLACKBURN rose to respond to the toast. He said it was
the first time he had had an opportunity of meeting so large a
body of his constituents since the last session of parliament.
The flattering manner in which his health was proposed and
received, gave him a confident hope that his conduct in parlia-
ment had met with their approbation.
Song by Mr. Ibbotson,—" The fine old English gentleman."
The CHAIRMAN next gave in a neat speech the bishop and
clergy of the diocese.
The Rev. Mr. BAINES, curate of the parish church, rose to
return thanks. He said he felt considerable diffidence in re-
sponding to the toast which had just been drank in so enthu-
siastic a manner. He was convinced that the enthusiasm with
which they had hailed the-announcement of the toast was not
a mere ordinary compliment to the bishop and clergy in general,
or to himself and brother-clergymen in particular. He felt
convinced that the thoughts of those before him had at that
time reverted in affection to that church of which they were the
humble ministers, and which church had hitherto formed part
and parcel of that-. glorious constitution under which they
lived. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN then in a brief speech introduced the health
of their respected guest, Charles Wilkins, Esq., and the con-
servative bar.

This toast wag responded to with great enthusiasm.
Mr. WILKINs rose amid deafening cheers. He began by
stating that conflicting feelings in overwhelming torrents poured
in upon his mind, and he feared that his self-contiol could not
restrain them within those limits that rhetoricians had prescribed
to the speaker. He felt that he durst not invite the scrutiny of
criticism, and if he occupied much of their time it would be
rather in compliance with their kind invitation than in obedience
to his own judgment. The circumstances attending their invi-
tation, whilst they flattered his vantiy, afforded proud proof that
in these troublesome and dangerous times his efforts for the pre-
servation of all that Englishmen should hold dear had nut been in
vain. The compliment th it they had paid to his judgment should
teach him humility from a consciousness of the responsibility
which heaven had imposed upon him, and beget renewed exer-
tions iu the cause of good order and citizenship. There was
anothei, to him, rich source of gratulation, that of being placed
iu junta-position with a body of men pre-emduent for their pro-
found learning and high sense of honour. He would assert,
with the pages of history lying before him, in the presence of
the proudest monuments of Greece and :tome, that the British
bar had produced more illustrious state.inen, more real philoso-
phers, purer philanthropists; and more exalted patriots than
-uttfer rustlrtMon- In the world. Of course he confined not
his attention 'to the bar of the present, day:- lie nen in MS
mind's eye the sages of bygone days, the light of whose minds
still shone on our statute books and volumes of records. (Hear.)
When he spoke of lawyers he meant not men merely convei sant
with the rules of process and the technicalities of detail. He re-
ferred to men who'by. deep study, never-ceasing inquiry, and the
closest application, had made themselves acquainted with the
requirements of society, and had framed laws to meet those re-
quirements—men who understood the philosophy of the law,
whose minds were Caskets of imperishable principles. This was
the man who in the largest sense of the word was the lawyer.
Such men had always been in the true sense of the word Con-
servatives.--(Loud cheers.) At one, time braving the threats
and temptations of royalty when exercising its 'prerogative for
the oppression of the subject, at another loyally and strenuously
enforcing the powers of the law in defence of the throne against
the lawless attacks and unreasonable demands of the traitor.—
( Hear.) He was not ashamed to acknowledge that an acquaint-
ance with such minds had wrought in him a total change of po-
litical sentiments, and with truth he could declare that he never
retired to the quietude of his chamber without lifting up his
heart in gratitude to that Being who had spared his life to be
convinced of error, and-had given him opportunity to-atone for
it.—(Loud cheers.) He saw before him a motto of "king;
lords, and commons. and no invasion."—(Loud cheers.) That
motto was entwined around his heart, and he would say, as a
lawyer, though a young one, with all the confidence that cer-
tainty could give him, that he who should dare to infringe upon
the integrity of the constitution described by that motto, nay,
even to remove one stone or ornament, violated the implied
compact entered into with his constituents, broke the solemn
oath taken on entering the senate, and was a traitor to his king.
And, should he at any time obtain a seat in St. Stephen's, (and
the thing was hot improbable,) if any man 'mould presume to
attack any branch of the constitution, if be stood alone he would
impeach him in the presence of his country.—(Loud cheers,
during which the commencement of the next sentence was
lost.) When silence was restored, Mr. Wilkins was heard to
Say that the privileges of the peers were as intangible, inviolable,
and sacred as the crown. The tights of the three estates of the
,•inpire were co-equal, and to be effective must be co-existent.—
(l 1 ear, hear.)
The levlned gentleman sat down amid the most enthusiaitic
cheers, which continued for several minutes.
After the lap,e of a short time, Mr. Wilkins again rose, and
in a very brief though highly complimentary speech, proposed
the health of their worthy i:hairman which was received with
loud plaudits; ,
Mr. WILSON rose to return thanks for the honour conferred
upon him. lle took occasion to give a concise history of the
rise and progress of the society up to the present hour; from
which it appeared that he (the chairman,) actuated by true eon-
servative principles, bad, on the 10th Nov., 1833, after much
apathylatiour or
ritl unwillingnesslit, Ilia had been rendered weak from the
of
individuals to
come forward, suc-
ceeded in cidlecting twenty-nine members, and enrolling them
as the 'Warrington Operative Conservative Association. Since
that time they had gradually increased, and now numbered about
five hundred members. He concluded by pi oposing as a toast,
"The Lancashire witches."
Glee—" Here's a health to all good lasses."
"The army and navy" was next given, after which the
CHAIR mAN gave the health of John Wilson Patten, Esq., and
the ConServative members of the House of Commons.
Mr. BLAcKBUI:Ng, M.P., in an eloquent speech returned
thanks- fee the .horiour con ferred upon himself and colleagues,
and apologized for the absence of Mr;Patten, who had unavoid-
ably been prevented from attending at the celebration of their
first anniversary bya sudden call to town. He begged to assure
them, that, although absent, the heart of Mr, Patten was with
the.society. He concluded by proposing, es a toast, " Pros-
perity to the Warrington Operative Conservative Association,
which was received with three times three.
Mr. lethersoN, an operative, then rose and addressed the
meet ing.
The GH A I KSIA-N then gave, "Success to the Operative Con-
servative Associations throughout the Kingdom. .
Mr. It. S., So wi.en, of Manchester, responded to.the toast.
Mr. WILKINS here rose, and after observing that he was al-
ready a member of every conservative association throughout
the county except two, presented the treasurer with his annual
subscription, and was forthwith elected a member of the War-
rington Operative Conservative A ssoeiatinti.
"The illustrious Duke of Wellington" was then given from
the chair, and received with nine distinct rounds of the Kentish
tire."

Song—" We shall never see the like again."
The VICE-PRESIDENT then gaVe '‘ The Donors and Sub-
scribers of the Warrington Operative Conservative •Associa-
tion." ,

--
Mr. WILIctNs, as one of the subscribers, rose to return
thanks. _ .

" The real reformer of the Age, Si: Robert Peel." Received
with great applause.
Mr. SowLEtt, in a complimentary speech, proposed the
health of Mrs Blackhurne and family.

••-•••-• ••• —•--
Mr. BLACKBUItNE returned thanks, and regretted the absence
of Mrs. Blarkburue and her daughter, who had purposed to
have been present, but were prevented by the inclemency of
the. weather.

The CH lICMAN next gave "The Parent Conservative As-
sociation of South
neasbire."

-
Captain CLaits. in— a very energetic and able speech. returned
thanks. He concluds.d by proposing the health of the Conser-
vative members of the county.
11 r„ Ye ea. as a magi,trate, returned thanks. He took a cur-
sory review of the devices and stratagetns used by their oppUn-
ents to undermine the constitution. In Liverpool the Scriptures
were expounded by n socinianized quaker, and the tight of rea-
son was about to be imparted to the universities of Oxford and
Cambridge by the Mayor of Liverpool.
The Conservative members of the county were then proposed.
The CIiAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Earl of Eldon.
Glee—" For he's a hearty good fellow."
Several other toasts followed. and the meeting separated, as
they had conducted themselves, it. a very orderly and satisfactory
manner.
