What will keep them seated? No such policy as that which
they have adopted. It has held its day, and that is a day too
long. They must satisfy the DissenterS, they 'mist conciliate
the, Radicals, they must settle the Lords, they must control the
court, or their hours are numbered, and their fall will be a final
one ;' they will be defiinet and forgotten." (The reading of this
extract occasioned much laughter.) His Lordship Continued—
I ask you if it is possible to conceive aset of men pretending to
carry on the Government Of a Conntry, 'placed in such a pOsi-
tion. They. have prOposed measures. to Parliament which they
ought to kuuw—and if they do not know they are most egregious
diipes—arevished forward by others under pretended motives,
which are really nut the motives by which they are actuated.
Oa the other, hand, they are told—" You have had your day—
you have lasted long enough, we will have no more of you.
Adopt our principles—go the whole hog, or else you will be an-
nihilated.' Although I have said thus much, allow, me to couple
it with a caution not to be 'anxious for their forcible renioVal;—

it is my desire that they -should. drink the dregs of degradation •
to the very lees. (Loud cheers,),, I ant anxious_that they should.
themselves -see that:Men Of honour cannot &Main so situated,
and that there is no country. in-the world that would bear such
an insult. (Cheers,) I beg of you not to be impatient7—let the
thing crawl on until its power of action be gone (tremendous
cheers), and then there will be some hope of soinethitig like a •
settled form of Government by which the country may be ruled
according to the old principles, of the Constitution. Cheers.)
I shall now conclude by giving a toast, which I do with the sin-
cerest pleasure. In all the communications I have ever bad
with this town, I have been tre,ated not only with respect, but
with the Utmost kindneis and consideration. I should be un- ,
grateful were I. to forget that kindness. You must, therefore,
allow me, before I sit down, to giYe prosperity to the town of
-.Wakefield. The Noble Lord then sat down amidst overpower-
ing cheers by proposing " Prosperity to -the town and trade
of Wakefield.
Mr. Micklethwaite, one of the vice-presidents, in a neat ad-
dress proposed "The healtkof the Hon. John Stuart. Wort-
ley," and in doing so tonic occasion to congratulatethe meeting
on the great progress which'Cimservatialia was Making through-
out the country.
The toast was drunk amid loud cheers.
The Hon. J. S. Wortley said, that he rose to respond to the
toast, with the feeling that hehad a pleasing duty to discharge,
as the reception the.toast.,_had 'met with he,had never seen sur-
passed on any previous occasion. Before; hOwever, he pro-
ceded to say anything relating to hi:town positiOn; tie-must be
allowed to congratulate them in having. assembled together so
- numerously to d&honour to his friend, sfr. I,,a,•elleS, In doing
so they were only discharging a deep debt of gratitude, as the
services rendered by thatgentleman were not confined to Wake-
field alone, but the whole of the West Riding had experienced
the benefit of them. Mr. Wortley;after further alluding to Ire-
land, and other topics, in an eloquent speech; for which we re-
gret our inability to find space, concluded by observing,- that
_should England be called upon to enforce the Observancepf fge
laws in Ireland by force .of arms and bloodshed, assuredly-the
consequences would fall on the heads of those whose system of
agitation had-been the cause of -
" The health of Mr. Beckett Denison and the Central Com-
mittee of the Conservatiyea.of the West Riding" was then pro-
posed by Mr. Diinn, another of the vice-presidents, inn:speed:lt
of considerable length. 'The toast was received with enthilsi.
team.
Mr: Denison returned thanks, and said he trusted that they
would give hint and the gentlemen they had associated with
him
,in the.great and fearful responsibility of attending to the
conservative interests in the West Riding credit for their efforts
to do their duty. He concluded by drinking "The health-of
,Mr. Pant, the chairman of the Leeds. Operative Conservative
Association." (Cheers.) .
Mr. Paul returned thanks in a speech that would h4e done
honour to one of much 'more polished education, and congra-
tulated the country on the spread of consel vatism in the king-
.
dorn. .

Mr. Lascclles then proposed 'the- healths of the- gentleinen I ,
who had conducted the registration of the borough of Wake-
field,' and regretted that the law Subjected them to the evil of
annual excitements, almost equal to those 'attendant upon it •
contested election.
Mr. Marsden returned thanks on behalf of his colleague and
himself, and entered into some figure statements, showing the •
improved prospects of the conservative,cause of the borough.
The Chairman then said that in propOsing the next toast,
nothing that he could say would make it More acceptable in
their ekes; and he would,, therefore, -witbout.further preface,'
propose the health of the Duke. (It is almost impossible to
conceive the enthusiasm with vi hich • the toast of the Hero of
Waterloo was' receifed. The chee,ring did not subside for
,
Many minutes.)
Lord Wheincliffe then, in a 's.peech highly ccimpliMenterYof
the exertions, of the chairman in the-conservative cause, pro.;
posed that gentle Man's. health. (The toast was received with
bench applanse.)-
The Chairman, in returning thanks for the'high honour done
' him for small exertions, said he received it as a stimulUs to
further exertions. The cause for which they contended must
prosper, for it was a holy
,one. would have those who
fOund so much fault' with the constitution of England to turn
their eves, to his unhappy native land,' [the chairman hie Poe;
tugyese, but left his country in, early life.] to her sister conntry,
Spain, and to 'F"ranee, even With the beloved King of the
French at their , head, and then say whether they 'thought or- •
genic change's necessary t.othe prosperity,of a country. (Hear.)
He concluded' by rectiminending Them to rally round Sir R.
Peel, and proposed " The health of Sir It. "Peel, and the con
servative members of the
,Horse of Commons." (Immense
cheering.)
The next, toast was " The Lotd Lieutenant of the 'West
- Riding, the Earl of Halewood," to which his son, the Hon. E.
Laseellei, respoOded, and Concludedby proposing the toast of .
The Conservative Ladies Of Wakefield who had 'honeured
them with their presence."
Mr. John Naylor returnedthanks on behalf of the ladies, in
a speech of considerable' humour. He then proposed the health '
of the Magistrates of, the West Riding. ..
Mr. Scott, in returning thanks on behalf of himself and col-
leaaties said, that after the heart-stinirig speeches they had
heard,.all that he could say would be felt to be quite flat, quite
stale, and, perhaps, quite unprofitable ; he would, however,
deeply acknowledge the-honour conferred upon them, and would
conclude by. proposing the health of a body,of men to'whOm
the magistrates were generally much indebted for valuable aid
in the performanee of Theirnivluoits andgrathitous duties. He
proposed.":Thehealth of:the Vicar:and Clergi of the parish of
Wakefield."
"The Rey. Mr. Sharp in acknowledging the toast said, that in
times like these, when it was too much; the fashion to decry and
degrade the clergy, to'receive the compliment to-night paid to
them, and in such a cordial manner too, was very gratifying to
their feelings. He 'proposed "The health of the gentlemen
who had visited them on the occasion."
botOuel Markham returned" thanks.
The Hon. Mr. Wortley in a vary complimentary speech
proposed "The health of the Conservative Solicitors of the,
IVestßiding," to which toast
Mr. Robert Baxter responded in a very eloquent speech, and:
' concluded by proposing "The Conservative press of Great
Britain:"
. Mr.' Donovan, editor of the " Wakefield Herald," a news-
paper recently established in this town in the. Conservative in-
terest, returned thanks.
Lord Wharncliffe proposed " The health of the' Viee-Presi-
' dent."

'!'he 'toast was responded to by Mr. Dunn.
The Hon Mr. Lascelles then proposed "The hialth of the
Stewards," in doing which he took this the last oppprtunity that
would-be this night afforded him of addressing them to assure
them, that the compliments-and the honours they'had this night
paid him would never be erased- from his, memory. (Great
cheers.)
Mr. thin Sell,• one of the stewaidS, .acknowtedged the toast,
and at its conclusion, the list of toasts being gone through, and
time beingm half-past one, the Chairman vacated the chair, and
With the oSt'distinguished of the guests left the reom,'-tivaidit
the hearty cheers of the assembly.

THE LATE GALE.

(From tke Times.)
The following details, abridged from the Hampshire Adver
tiser, will show the extreme violence of the gale in some of -the..
Southern districts
In Sauthampten, we are heppy *to -state that the damagelo
property hap been much less than in any part of the surround-
ing neighbourhood. A few chimnies have been thrown down,
and portions of the roofs of several houses have in consequence
been broken in.; -,btit instead of every house in the town having
suffered, as stated by a contemporary, not mote than six have
been seriously damaged, and perhaps 2O or 30 partially injured;'
few houses have escaped losing a tile or two, hut no,great
damage has occurred beyond what we have mentioned. The
lead on the,top of All Saints' Chtirch'was'curleduplike-a roll
of floor-cloth,. but little other injury Was sustained there : the
slates on the south side of the roof of St. Aliclniel's were blown
down, and so many tiles fell in French-street, that the shop=
shutters were generally, put up for the security of the windows:
It was. un the water that the severity:of the gale was most felt,.
and the captains or the trading vessels state, that'tbe violence of
the storm for about half an hour (bet Ween 11 and 12 o!clock).

1791, four extraordinary trees are recorded as worthy. of parti-
cular notice, and the newly pnistrated picturesque ornament of

At Alton, 'some fine old elms, the property of Mr. John' Haw-
kids, were torn up, Main one instance severed-the tree, and it
looked .aIP4PiI as if it iitad been cut. with a saw. A, barn, the
property of Mr. W. Evans, of Parringdtin, was observed' seve
tal times to rise from its tied, and-again settle doWn, but at last
was overcome by the breeze. and fell a heap of rains.
At Chichester, the hurricane was in its fearful cOusequences
like a 'whirlwind. The night of Monday had been .gusty and
stormy, but on Tuesday Morning a gale of unparalleled vio-
lence commenced, .and raged .with unabated fury till past 12
o'clock. The wind was at its height at half-past 11, when
chimneys by the dozen were blown down, windows dashed in,
walls levelled, and tiles and slates blew about in every direc-
tion. gieral houses were partially Unroofed, and the damage
done is 'immense, but, although we.have taken a. circuit of the
city, the actual damage' cannot be correctly ascertained, nor
can we detail every Ceara of destruction, amid all the 'ruin and
injury we are, however, happy. to,atate that no lives have beeu
lost, although- there were several miraculous escapes.
At Goodwood-park, it is said, 4(/0 or 500 trees were blown
down, and the poor rooks lost many of their nests. At Bosham,
and indeed all the surrounding country, the damage was very
severe,
, Many of the provincial newspapers received yesterday contain
additional details of the effects of the late gale in the southern
add eastern counties Of England, but they are for the most pert
of the same char,acter as tbose'whioh wehave already published.
Trees torn up, chimney-stacks blown down, houses unroofed,
and hay and-corn stacks scatiered,'are amongst'the casualties
of every account. We are-glad to find, that though theloss of
property has beep considerable, the loss of life by the gale has
peen happily very limited.'

Which the storm raged, in many parts of that country :
