City, Wednesday Evening, half'-past Seren o'clock.
There has been an extraordinary degree of buoyancy in our
money market to-day, and the result of the elections appears to
afford the utmost Satisfaction to our capitalists. Consols have
touched upon 91i to-day, an advance from the opening price of
ii. per cent. Exchequer Bills, however, do not exhibit any
variation of moment, but are rattier heavy at 41 to 42, and India
bonds bear a premium of 19 to 21. Money is very abundant,
and can readily be procured at 3 per cent. The tenor of Sir
Robert Peel's address at Tamworth teems to have given gieat
confidence to our leading monied interests, and the general
aPPearance of things here is most satisfactory. Bank Stock
and India Bonds are both on the advance, the former being.

PUBLIC DINNER. AT WARRINGTON.

On Tuesday last a üblic dinner was giver at the Lion Hotel,
Warrington, by a inajdiity of tne electors of that borough, to
Jahn Ireland Blackhurhe, Esq., their conservative representa-
tive. The large room of the hotel was appropriately fitted up
for the occasion, and a balcony over the vice-chair was filled by
elegantly dressed females; amongst whom we noticed the lady
of the honourable member to whom the dinner was given.
Thomas Parr, Esq.,- presided, and was supported by Lord
Francis Egerton,• M.P., and the Hon. Bootle Wilbraham, M.P.
John Hodson Kearsley, Esq., M.P., Sir. Philip Egerton, Bart.,
M.P., John Ireland Blackburne, Esq., M.P., William Tatton
Egerton, Esq., M.P., John Eutwisle, Esq., M.P., William
Hutton, Esq., H. 8.. Houghton, Esq., the Rev. Thomas Black-
burne, vicar of Eccles, the Hon. and Rev. H. Powys, Charles
Cholmondely, Esq., and other distinguished gentlemen of this
and the peighbouriug counties. On the cloth being removed, Non
'whir Dominic was sung with much taste by some Manchester
glee singers; after which the CHAIRMAN rose to propose the
first toast, which he felt confident would be received by the as-
sembly with cordial satisfaction,—it was "'Church and King,
and may they ever be united." The toast was drunk amidst
deafening cheers, after which the national anthem was sung by
the glee singers with a piano accompaniment. " Confound-
their politics," and tuay he defend our laws," was rapturously
applauded. The next toast was .4The Queen, in whose illus-
trious character was embraced all that was good and virtuous."
The toast was responded to by unanimaus acclamation. 'rue
-" Princess Victoria, the pride and hope of the British uatiou,".
was then toasted, with similar honours.
The C H A IRM A N then gave " His Majesty's Ministers," which
he preceded by observing that he feltconfident of their receiving
the cordial support of the nation, us they were not men who, to
carry measures, would descend to a negotiation with political
unions or any other faction. They were a body of men in, whom
the country. might place implicit faith, as ministers determined
to trphold the civil and religious institutions of the nation,
. and
at the same time advocate every conStitutional reform in church
and state which good men might desire ur reasonable men re-
quire. - The toast was received upstanding with the most enthu-
siastic plaudits.
Mr. GLA ZER ROOK, of Stockton Mount, when the applause con-
sequent upon the toast had subsided, favoured the company
with a well written patriotic song, attribiited, erroneously, to the
pen of Lord Francis Egerton, entitled "The Isles are awake to
the voice of the King," which was highly applauded.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said that the toast he was about
to propose he was sure would be drank with heartfelt satisfac-
tion by all present. It was the health of that gentleman who
had been the means of rescuing
.the borough of Warrington
from the lowest state of degradation—the hands of the .wigs
and radicals. (Cheers.); He alluded to their respected mem-
ber, John Ireland Blackburne,, Esq., who had achieved the
glorious victory in the. borough which they had met to cele-
brate. • (Loud cheers.), 'He requested they would drink the
iteas[ in a bumper. 'I he toast naying been drank, with three
nines three cheers, ,rs
JOHN IRELAND lILWIBURNE, Esq., M.P., rose and said,
that after the very flattering manner in which hie health had
been proposed and drank, he considered himself at a loss how
to thank them in adequate terms. He did so, however, from the
bottom of his heart, not only fur that compliment, but for the
manifold obligations they had conferred upon him. (Cheers.)
They had placed him in a proud situation as their representa-
tive, add he begged leave to remind them that the last time he
had the,p;easure of addressing them from the house in which
he then stood, he told them that the triumph of the cause would
nut be completed unless they returned two conservative mem-
bers (Or the. county. (Loud cheers.) lie then fetidly hoped
that such would be the case-, . and his pleasure, as theirs must
be, was unbounded on finding those hopes realised. (Loud
cheers.) It was a source 'of great 'satisfaction to see two indi-
viduals returned to parliament as the representatives of the in-
terests of the county whose principles were congenial with their
own, and whose talents, exertions, and influence they were assur-
ed would be exercised to prevent the ruthless hand of agitation
from touching—if it dared attempt—the sacred institutions of
the nation. He believed that in no portion of the great
county of Lancaster had the inhabitants been more streuuous
in the cause, or used gi eeter.exertions to. send his two honour-
able friends to parliament than those who surrounded him, and
he (Mr. Blackburne) as an inhabitant of the borough congratu-
lated them on the achievement of the victory. (Cheering.)
They had been told by their opponents that there was no re-
action, but he considered there was something very like it, call
it what they would, when they saw that, notwithstanding the
interest of two great families who had hitherto held a pre-
ponderating influence in. this county had been- thrown into
the scale against them, his noble friend Lord Francis Eger-
ton had po led one thousand voters more than his opponents,
these opponents havisig iu the same proportion polled less than
they did at the previous election. (Loud cheers.), They might
term this what they Chose, but he called it inaction ! (Cheers.)
This favourable change could satisfactorily be accounted for.
The fact was, that many thousands of individuals in the empire
who had originally approved of the reform bill, when they
found that a faction existed in the country determined to use
that measure as an engine for sinister and factious purposes,
retraced their steps, and joined the ranks of the conservatives,
and now it was to be hoped they would be enabled to avert the
threatened storm. (Cheers.) He was quite convinced that his Ma.
jesty's ministers would to the letter act up to the professions they
had made, and he should be happy to coalesce with them in endea-
abusing to remove all .blemishes iu the state where they were
found to exist; at the same time taking especial care that in
doing so he did not injure the church establishment. (Cheers.)
With respect to his political opinions, he did not deem it neces-
sary then to express them, .as they were fully acquainted with
then,. The last time he had the pleasure of addressing them,
he had stated the fact that his political seutimeuts were imbibed
in infancy, and from that period of life to the present, he was
happy to inform them he had seen no reason to change. (Cheers.)
They had done him.the honour of electing. him as the represen-
tative of their interests in Parliament, tied 1.1 no pledge or
shackle whatever, and he hoped theY would never have occasion
to regret the choice they bad made.. If he ever disgraced the
representation of the borough, the day of retribution must
.come, and he could never expect again to receive that On&
deuce and support which they had so liberally bestowed upon
him. This he was convinced of, that whether himself or any
other individual had- the good fortune to represent them in
future parliaments, the borough of Warrington would never
send a representative again who was not a conservative. (Loud
cheers.) He should not' detain them hanger than to congratu-
late theni sincerely On the result of the elections. They had
nobly responded to the voice of the King, by returning conser-
vative represectative.s.to parliament, and it now remains with
those representative's to do their duty .by supporting the throne
and its prerogative. He was confident that those representatives
would not deceive either their constituents or tile country.
Mr. Blackburne concluded amidst loud cheers.

Mr. BLACKRURNE then, in a complimentary speech, proposed
the health of Thomas Parr, Esq., the chairutau.
Mr. PARR returned thanks in a neat and loyal spcecb. in
whielche'congratidated the couservative cause on that constitu-
tional spirit which now appeared to have spread itself so gene-
roily throughout the country. He thought it the duty of all good
men,-when they saw bad men combined together fur avowed
mischievous purposes, to combine in defence ot their King, laws,
and religion. :1 hey had fought the battle and won the victory.
manfully, and, like good Soldiers, be had tio doubt of their main-
taining it. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then said that he had the honour to propose
the healths ofahe two distinguished individuals who had been
the means of rousing the county of Lancaster from its lethargy,
and had caused it to resume that character for loyalty which had
been the honest boast of their ancestors. (Lod& cheers.) He.
had great pleasure in proposing "The Members for South Lan-
cashire."
Lord -FRANCIS EGERTON then rose, and was received with
the most enthusiastic- deinonstration of popular feeling. He
said that it was a matter of great satisfaction to him on finding
himself, before he prepred to undertake duties elsewhere, able
to join in the congratulatiods.of the assembly for their having re-
turned Mr. Blackburuep,their representative. (Loud cheers.)
They (the people of Warrington) as a matter of casualty had
taken precedence in the county by sending to 'parliament a
conservative representative, and he was happy to find that the
glorious example which. they -(the electors of Warrington) had
set had been acted upon by the county itself, which showed that
the sentiments which induced them to send Mr. Blackburne to
parliament, were felt by the country at large, as well as through-
out the vast county. which lie had the honour to represent.
(Loud cheers.) lie sincerely-thanked the hon. gentleman who
had reminded him of the deep share of support and obligation
which he owed to the part of the couutry iu which he then stood,
(although it was scarcely necessary,) for placing hhn in his
present eminent situation. Their voices he knew, in common
with others of the county, had called him from private life and
leisure, in which circunastauces, in some measure, had coni-
pelted hint to indulge. The possibility might have been that
bye. slight contrivance, such -as they had seen• elsewhere, for
him to have continued in the enjoyment of that scat in parlia-
ment, or of some other,—which he had previously occupied.
Butthis might have been done unly by abjurtug that creed which
some people said, to. efface which was the crime of his race.
Notwithstanding this he enjoyed that independence and that
leisure in every way. (Cheers.) He could have hoped to be
content to see the operations-Of the late government conducted
by those who had caused the great change in the institutions of
the country with moderation, discretion, and wisdom, if they
possessed those qualities, of which he had much doubt, (hear,)
with those engines they had. set on foot. He could not, how-
ever, see in the conduct of:that administration the least symp-
loin of those qualities which he considered necessary for the
'government of the ceuntry;
~(Cheers.) It was nut merely to
•oppuse or remove a party froM, power that he (Lord Egerton)
was called upon to .represenohem in parliament. (Cheers.)
He as their representative was called upon to decide and to
deal with facts and circumstances beyond the control of the
electors, arising from catnies ;by • which the king bad exercised
his royal, flee, and just 'prprogative, and- lie was not aware
that the course of that exercise presented the least shadow
fusvieiois, of eitheitintrikie4r dishonour. (Lend •Cheers:)
The apprehensions of those instigated perhaps by disappoint-
went, or probably by the ehdlice'of removal from power, hail
called upon the country to replace them in office, at all risks,
and at all, hazards, and by, any sacrifice of the public prosperity,'
or the public interest, and to -assert that life interest in the do-
. miniou-of the country which .he (Lord Egerton) thought wasnot the least object of the nieasure called reform, which they
had brought forward. (Loud cheers.) They had said that the
springs of property were to be stopped if they had not the di-
rection of them, no matter what successive aegradations their
future' administration may suffer similar, to those which first
swept Lord Stanley and Lord' Grey from power. No matter
on whose shoulders in succession that mantle which had covered
Lord Grey should fill in future. No matter whether that case,
of which that eloquent advocate-of peace and good order. Mr.
Sergeant Spankie, spoke, was again to be ransacked for legis-
lators, and perhaps for ministers. All these considerations
were to be set -aside; because an individual, ( Lord Durham,)
who had been presented and recommended to his Majesty, was
not allowed' to raise his voice at the head of a pack which he
(Lord E.) believed was collected, perhaps not with any motive
or purpose, .but with the certain results of worrying-the- consti/
tution. (Cheers.) It was in part to meet appiehensions such
as these that he considered it his duty, when the voice, as he
conceived it to be, of the respectable portion of the freeholders
of this division'of the county was raised to invite him to come
forward, to accept the invitation. (Cheers.) He might say,
in the words of the song he Iliad .just• heard, and which else-
where. byinnee mistake most flattering and complimentary to
himself, hail heen•attrihtoed to his •comvoSition, but' which lie
took with pleasure, or rather with regret, the present OPnOrtunity
of disclaiming, as any other course might be considered .a.lite-
rary robbery—

. .
And self troth small ,part in the raptures that spring
- To see the isles ,wake at the voice•of the King.
(Loud cheers.) The triumph which the county of Lancaster
had gained, and of whirh "lie was the Trimble instiument,. had
been a source of unmixed satisfaction to him, because the means
which had been resorted to to obtain it had been honest And
legitimate. (Cheers.) • The contest throughout had been con-
ducted with moderation, temper, an:t hat ninny, and, as far as
his experience and judgment went, the triumph had been en-
joyed• with the same temper and time same moderal ion, with the
same desire to avoid giving unnecessary offence to those who,
like themselves, were entitled • to the exercise of those opi-
nions: conceived by them to' be correct. (Loud cheers.)
The counts. of Lancaster was one, above all others 'n the king-
dom, which, without any view of personal ambition, he felt moms
proud to represent. The reasons fur that pride and that exulta-

Lion were too! obvious and numerous to all the inhabitants; and
to tell the inhabitants of the county, who looked up.m its wealth,
its number, and its risiug.prosperity with envy and admiration,
such a fact was unnecessary. There was one feature in its
history which had been illustrated by the eveuts in the recent
election, which ought not slightly to be passed over—that was
the high character the county had always borne for loyalty to
its King, and attachment to the institutions of the country.
This was the great source of the pride and satisfaction he felt
upon being called upon to represent such feeliegs and such
opinions. This, however, was the characteristic of this.
.portion of his Majesty's dominions in times more dark and
disastrous than the present, although, perhaps, not more dan-
gerous or pregnant with future consequences to the prosperity
of the country. (Hear, hear.) He might just refer to that
great leader of the house of-Derby, who laid down his life upon
the scaffold at Bolton for his Sovereign, in defence of his crown
and dignity, when that monarch was about to rear his standard
to assert his prerogative, and show them what was that noble-
man's advice. He advised the King to select the county of
Ladcastet us the spot on which the standard should be raised.
Had that advice been followed, and Nottingham had not been
the
,place chosen to fight the battle, the consequences might
have, been very different. (Cheers.) However that might
havc-heen,.were he (Lord Egerton) called upon under similar
circumstances to advise his Majesty, he should go to the Coun-
cil Chamber with truth and confidence, and tell him, that when
danger threatened the throne or the subversion of the institu-
tions of the country, he‘could find no place on which to fix the
standard of England With greater security or greater certainty
of triumph than the county which he bad the honour to repre-
sent. (Immense cheering.) With respect to any exposition
of his political opinions, he thought: that this, perhaps, was not
the proper time or place to trouble them with. Speaking, how-
ever, as he did from the spot where, with a few exceptions, he
for the first time addressed them, he would say, that the princi-
ples and -opinions which he told them at his canvass he held,
were those which he should ever espouse,- (cheers,) and which,
he hoped, he should be able firmly to support, standing in the
proud situation of their representative. (Cheers.) His prin-
ciples he should endeavour to advocate in a more important
place, and before a more important audience, viz., int.hat scene
Of legislation, the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He hoped
that his conduct there Might be such, that at a future period he
should be enabled to meet his constituents, and obtain from
theist a testimony that his conduct had been what they had a
right to expect so far as his feeble abilities would permit. Lord
Francis concluded by congratulating the meeting on, the pecu-
liar and gratifying occasion that had brought them together,
and sat down amidst the most cordial cheers and waving of
handkerchiefs front the ladies.
The Honourable RICHARD BOOTLE WILBRAHAM then rose
and said, that after the very eloquent speech of his noble col-
league they might consider, that he felt the triumph Of the
cause in his (Lord Egerton's) return as one of their represen-
tatives, and that for the honour they had conferredupon. him by,
their. selection le, felt deeply grateful. It would ;lot ,he
.oecas,
sary fur him"to state the reasons that 'induced hint to offerhiin-
self as a candidate for their suffrages, as they were already
known. He bad been returned, and he might be allowed to
say, without 'disparagement to. any other portion :of the county,
that it was principally from the promises of support he received
in Warrington that he felt himself secure, and the support they
had afforded • him exceeded his most sanguine expectations.
(Loud cheering.) •He begged leave to thank his honour-
able friend on. his left (Mr. Blackburire) for congratula-
ting the county on sending to parliament two representatives.
whose exertions would he used to check the ruthless progiess
of agitation, which was calculated to subvert the institutions
of the country. He had heard that since they had been iu
that room, the arch agitator, Mr. O'Connell, had passed
through the town. Ile did nut, however, stay long; but, like,
a prudent dog, he had sneaked out of the town for fear of being
kicked out.. Such was his haste to leave, that he (Mr. Wil-
braham) believed he had ordered an additional pair of post
horses. (Laughter.) Ile felt exceedingly proud at being
selected as one, of the representatives of this important division
of the county, and he could assure them that they could not
have placed their confidence in one more firmly attached to
his King and the institutions of the country. (Cheers.) He
was at a loss for adequate terms in. which to express his grati-
tude for their kind favour; they bad confided their interests to
his. care, and he would exert his best abilities in common with
his noble colleague to protect, them. in conclusion, he felt
much pleasure in proposing a toast, to drink which, even with
nine times nine, be was sure they would Out object. It was,
"The Cdnservative Cause." (Loud cheers.)
Lord .Fitaiscis EGERTON again rose, and said that he had'
received permission to propose a toast, which, after drinking
to the conservative cause, he thought came very appropriately.
The toast he intended to propose was the health of that great
-man who 'had preserved the peace of empires. He meant the
Duke of Wellington. (Loud cheers.) To do honour to that
toast merely on the grounds of the military services he had
rendered to 'his country would be a waste of time, as they were,
so well known. They had heard from the reports of speeches
that it had been said, if the Duke of Wellington continued in
power the peace of Eu'rope would not long be maintained. That
might be a matter of opinion ; but, front the course of his po=
licy, he (Lord E.) should judge that that peace which 'was
held as a blessing, and which they wished to maintain so long
as they,could consistently with national honour, was not likely
to be disturbed. He considered that the accession to office of
the Duke of Wellington would be the Means of raising the
country to that eminence in the scale of nations which it used to"
enjoy.—After some further eulogiums on the duke, particularly
as respected his abilities as a statesman, his lordship sat down,
and the toast was drank with three times three cheers.

Mr MALLEY here favoured the company with a song, entitled
." The British Oak," which we understood.wa.s composed for the
occasion.

The.o 11 A 1 hAi A N then gave "The health of Mri. Blackburne,
and the Lancashire witches."

Air.. BIACKBURNE returned thanks, and gave "The. Ladies
of Warrington."
The CHAIRMAN said that he wished to propose the health of
a great and good man, who had filled the highest office in the
state with dignity, transcendent ability, and unflinching in-
tegrity. lie was not about to toast the itinerant ex-chancellor,
but the Earl of Eldon. (Loud cheers, and cries of "Three
times three.") -
Glee--" The jolly Tinkefs ofthe State."
• The CHAIRMAN here gave "The healths of the Members.
for South Cheshire."

TATTON EGERTON, Esq., M.P. in return for the honour,
said thathe was pr.oud in.having his name associated-with that
of his - friend Sir P. Egertou, as members for South Cheshire.
He was happy to see amongst the electors of Warrington
present so many who swelled the poll at Runcorn, in his favour,
as freeholders of South Cheshire. He cougratulated the its-
sembly on the great and glorious change in political sentiment
that had taken place, which he attributed to the awakened
sense of the. people of England generally, who were always ready
to obey the voice of the King. They (the electors of England)
he was sure would not allow the church of their forefathers to
be cut down by sacrilegious hands, or allow the constitution of
de the country to be hand over to thel tender mercies of political
economists and destructives.—Mr. 'Egerton concluded his ad-
dress by expressing the pleasure be felt in going to parliament
to support the present administration. Ia the last parliament
he sat as a matter of duty, but now it became a gratifying task.
Sir- PHILIP EGERTON next rose. His political sentiments
he was happy to say coincided with those of the gentleman
who had done him the honour (31dr-inking his health.' Ile con-
gratulated them from the bottom of his heart on the victory of
principle which they had won, by sending his two conservative
friends for South Lancashire, and for the success that had at-
tended their cause throughout the kingdom, which was evident
not only from the returns made but from the expression of the
prime minister who had said,-that he looked with pleasure to the
ensuing meeting of parliament. (Cheers.) Sir Philip went
on to compliment the electors of Warrington for the discern-
ment they had manifested in making choice of Mr. Ireland
Blackborue as their representative, who,.as regarded his talent,
his character, and principles, Was eminently qualified to serve
the interests of the town and country with honour and inte-
grity. • (Cheers.)
The health of Mr. Wilson Patten, the member for North
Lancashire, was then drank, and the Chairman apologised for
that gentleman's absence, which, he said, was unavoidable.
The "Conservative Members for Wigan and Rochdale"
being given,
J. H. KKARSLF.Y, M.P. for Wigan, briefly returned thanks.
JOHN ENTWISLE, Esq., M.P. for Rochdale, its acknowledg-
ing the compliment, alluded to the great share which the con-
servative association had bad in obtaining the triumph of those
principles in the county. He was proud to say, that he was the.,
first chairman of that association. They commenced with a
small number of members, and had kept progressing until
their ranks were so •swelled that no room in the county was
'large enough to hold them. If they continued to progress so
rapidly, he thought they must in future hold their meetings on
the sea shore. (Laughter and cheers.) He should, however,
regret to leaYe Newton, as the inhabitauts deserved well of
them. Mr. Entwisle concluded by stating, that although the
constituency which he represented was small, his vote was as
large as any other member's, and it should be given honestly
in support of alt wholesome measures. •
The CHAIRMAN then gave the Bishops and Clergy.
The Rev. Mr. Pow vs, Rector of Warrington-, in .au eloquent
speech acknowledged the honour.

son, Esq., returning officer of the borough.

Esq., as a gentleman who had raised tio_feeble voice in the
county in support of the conservative cause..
• Mr. CLARE briefly returned thanks. -
The CnAlamkri then gave the health of William Holton,
Esq., of Hulton Park, the tried and consistent friend of his
King and country. , (Loud cheers.)

ledged the honour.

Mr. ChOltutinde)ey; Mr. Ireland libbeithurne, junk ; and--Mr.
Critic, of Manchester, were subsequently drank with applause,
and acknowledged• by those gentlemen, and shortly afterwards
