DINNER AT AIGDURTH

About sixty of the members of Lodge Ni. 24 assembled
at the Aigburth Hotel for the purpose of dining together,
to celebrate the 12th July. The dinner was provided in
Mr. Prest's best style, and the &sea, which was fresh
from the garden, was most excellent. _

Brother John Payne, W.M., presided, and the vice'
chair was occupied by the D.M. of the lodge.
After the cloth had been removed the W.M. proposed
the health of "her Mrej-s y t Qu fn, so long ai she is
Protestant," which was drank witn three times three.

The W.M. next gave the health of " the Right Hon.
the Earl of Enniskillen, the M.W.G.M. of England."
(Drank with Kentish fire and great enthusiasm).
The W. M. next gave " The glorious, pinus, and im-
mortal memory of the great and good King William III,"
which was drunk in solemn silence.

Then followed the health of " Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager ; Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal
Family."
The next toast proposed was, "The health of P.W.D.
G.M. of Englaud, Richard Harboard, Esq.," which was
drank with the warmest enthusiasm.

MR. BRAMLEY-MOORE AND TEIE ALBIO.VS
DISCOVERI ES.

This gentleman, too, is coming in for a slice of Whig_
Radical abuse, as witness the following letter, addressed
to the Burgesses of Liverpool, in yesterday's Albion:—

'• GENTLEMEN,—.I would recommend you to watch this
gentleman pretty closely, for two reasons.
First,—At a Free Trade meeting Mr. Moore was put
forward to complain that a private compact was broken
when Mr. Holland moved that CORN be included.

Second,—He has received the thanks of the warehouse.
owners for attending to their interest in that Council.
room, where your interests only should be consulted.
A. gentleman so recommended must not sit in the
Mayor's chair. J. H.
_ _

With respect to the first charge, we need only remark
that the assertion that Mr. Moore was put forward at a
" Free Trade Meeting" for this or any other object. is
palpably untrue. That gentleman never attended a Free
Trade meeting, or advocated Free Trade in sugar, corn,
or any other commodity. With respect to sugar and
coffee, he has always been in favour of a moderate protec-
tion to colonial interests; and with regard to corn, he
has always advocated and still inclines to a fixed duty.
The meeting referred to was a meeting of the Brazilian
Association, called for the special consideration of sugar
and coffee, at which it was distinctly uodeestood that the
subject of corn would be out of place, and should not be
introduced. Mr. Charles Holland intruded the corn
question, and was of course, and deservedly, checked.
The second is still more completely unfounded. Mr.
Moore has not " received the thanks of the warehouse•
owners." On the contrary, it is well known that the
course which he has pursued has made him rather unpo-
pular with that bode. But the animus of the letter-
writer creeps out sufficiently in the last paragraph of the
letter. Mr. Moore "must not sit in the Mayor's chair."
Perhaps Mr. Fyre Evans, or some of his clique, would
like to sit there.

The bills of exchange, railway shares, and other docu-
ments, which were stolen from the Royal Bank, Liver-
pool, in May last, have been restored to Mr. Hobler.
The thieves have kept the money.
GALLANT AND HUMANE CONDUCT.—OD Sunday last,
Captain Jannion, of the tug-boat Colchester, saw a young
man who was drowning in the river, off the Albert Pier,
and immediately jumped into the water to his rescue, and
succeeded, after great difficulty, in saving his life.
UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.—The successful candidate
for the first of the members' prizes (Dissertation in Latin
prose), at Cambrioge, is Mr. J. J. Peroune, 8.A., of
Corona Christi College. Owing to an error on the part
of the examiners, in opening the mottoes, the successful
dissertation was attributed to the wrong author. The

latter repaired to Cambridge from a distant part of the
country, and was present on Monday to recite his pro-
dultion in the Senate-house, when the unfort
