to himself and the society over which he presided. He
was supported on the right by no less a personage than
the Reverend I'. D. Gregg, of Dublin, whose enthu-
siasm and frequent remarks were not only
_entertaining
but intellectual. The late Deputy Grand Master was
also present, as were numerous other equally impor-
tant individuals. A party of glee singers, some mem-
bers of the body, attended on the occasion, and their
tit-nits were such as to call forth twist deservedly the
enthusiastic plaudits of all assembled. The dinner
was not only substantial but excellent, and to the
worthy host we do no more than a duty when we say it

not of ly comprised every variety of the season, but
those varieties (unlike most dinners) were well
cooked. After the cloth was removed, the toast of
" 'the Queen" was given from the chair, and followed by
the glee, " God save the Queen." " The Queen Dowager
and the rest of the Royal Family" followed, and was most
enthusiastically received. Glee—" The Two Roses."
" The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great
and good King William, Prince of Orange," was then
drunk in solemn silence. Glee—" Lovely Night." The
toast, " The Grand Master, the Earl of Enniskillen,"
was received with the Kentish tire, and followed by
the glee. " Bright sword of Liberty." The toast of
" The late Deputy Grand Master " was prefaced by a
short address from the chair, and followed by the glee,
" Hail Smiling Morn." The late Deputy Grand Master
briefly replied, but in that brevity there was an expression
of uncorrupted feeling and liberality that seemed to raise
the already buoyant spirits of the party, and the en-
thusiastic cheers that followed but faintly illustrated
the enthuastic joy it created. •` The Worshipful Master
of Lodge 42" was given from the vice-chair (which was
most ably filled), and was ably responded to by the gen-
tisman proposed. Glee—" Spring's delights," To the
toast. " The Protestant Bishops and Clergy of the Dio-
cese." coupled with the Rev. T. D. Gregg, the latter
gentleman rep'ied at length, and we are only sorry that
the lateness of the hour prevents us doing that justice to
to his address that its merits deserve—for in a word he
illustrated the present state of Protestantism, and the
duplicity of popery. He showed the firm course he had
pursued, and the position to be taken, and displayed a
knowledge, a tact ..nd talent, treat in a few words it is im-
possible to describe. The address was loudly applauded
throughout. Glee—" Good Night." The following
toasts we. e then given :—" The Town and Trade of Liver-
pool." Gle,—"TO all r•e Ladies." "Our Visiting Friends."
Glee—" B mist), 0 Maiden." " Lancashire Witches ;"
an:l followed by a solo, with self accompaniment, " The
Accomplished Young Lady." Numerous healths were
a:terwards drunk, and at a seasonable hour the company
dlspersed, each high's, delighted with the hilarity of the
evening and the loyalty that had been unanimously dis-
played.

About sixty of the members of Lodge No. 24 assembled

MR. BRAMLEY-MOORE AND THE ALBION'S
DISCOVERIES.

This gentleman, too, is coming in far a slice of Whig-
Radical abu:e, as witness the following letter, ad,iressed
to the Burgesses of Liverpool, in yesterday's Albion:—

"GENTLEMEN,-1 would recommend you to watch this
gentleman pretty closely, for two reasons.
First.—At a Free Trade meeting Mr. Moore was put
forwhid to complain that a private compact was broken
when Mr. Holland moved that CORN he included.

Second,-1-le has received the thatars ot 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• 11.

With respect to the first charge, we need only remark
that the assertion that Mr. Moore was put forward at a
" Free 'lrade Meeting" for this or any other ohject, 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 !sleeting referred to was a meeting of the Brazilian
Association, called for the special consideration of sugar
and toff,,-e, at which it was distinctly unde .stood 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 wai choose.
owners." On the contrary, it is well known that the
course which he has pursued has made him rather unpi,..
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 chain"
Pet haps Mr. F) re Evans, or some of hia clique, would
like to sit there.

The bills of exchange, railway shares, and other docu-
ments, wh,oh were stolen from the Royal Bank, Liver-

_ .
pool, in May last, have been restored to Mr. nobler,
The thieves have kept the money.
GALLANT AND HUMANE CONDUCT.—On 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 hi' life.
UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.—The successful candidate
for the first of the members' prizes (Dissertation in Latin
prose), at Cambtioge, is Mr. J. J. Peroune, B A., of
Corpus Christi College. Owing to an error on the part
of the examiners, in opening the mottoes, the successful
di-sertation was attributed to the wrong author. The
latter reuaired to Cambridge from a distant part of the
country, and was present on Monday to recite his vro-
thintion in the Senate-house, when the unfortunate mis-
take was explained, and the nec

iary apology made to
him, which he received with much good-humour and
kin4ness.

THE WOOLLEN CLOTHS OP YORKSWIRE.—The letter
Mr. William Beckett, M.P., addressed to the mer-

considerable interest on the subjec•s principally
:d to by the hon. gentleman—viz., the comparative

)f English and foreign woollen cloths,

nd the

goods in the %Vest-Riding of York•hire. It is felt in
many quarters that this branch of manufacture is in far
from a satisfactory state, and that vigorous efforts should

, .
our lost pre eminence in the markets of the world. There
is a strong impression that British woollen cloths cannot
even retain their present position compared with those of
the F ench and Belgians, without such efforts being made.

Ma. RIPLEY AND THE LIVERPOOL COMMITTEE FOR
THE REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.—A lengthy correspon-
dence has just been published, which has Wien place be-
tween the secretary of the Liverpool committee for the

registry of shipping and Mr. Ripley, upon the subject of
an alleged imputation brought by the latter gentleman
against the committee, of unfair preference in the classifi-
cation of a vessel—the Anne Armstrong—belonging to one
of their own body. The committee, through their secre-
tary, required from Mr. Ripley that he should inspect the
report of the survey of the vessel, in order to enable that
gentleman to retract his imputation, if found unjust.
Mr, Ripley's reply was in the form of a demand to know
the precise language used, the names of the parties who
had reported the conversation, and when it had occurred.
The secretary to the committee then specified the par-
ticular nature of the charge; that it had been publicly
made in tue Underwriters' Rooms, was talked of on
'Change, and lido been published in the London and the
local 'pers. hl . Ripley still declined to take any steps,
witho It the ntirneF of the committee's i,.formants being
given ; and, after a further exchange of letters, with the
same result, the h flowing unanimous resolution of the
commte.
" That, as Mr. Ripley, in his correspondence, conti-
was et nveyed to Mr. Ripley :
noes to evade a denial of the unwarrantable charge which
has been referred to, the vindication of the conduct of
the committee will be sufficiently attained by publishing
the correspondence, in order that the public may form
their own conclusions as to the entire groundlessness of
the charge."
