STOVE GRATES and KITCHEN RANGES.—
J. EVANS, Stoveand Range Manufacturer, Fish-street-
hill, respectfully solicits the Nobility and Gentry who are
refitting or furnishing houses to an Inspection of his most
extensive and fashionable Stock of LltstNe- Room, Parlour.
and Chamber STOVES, Fenders, and Fire-irons. adapted
either for the plainest or the most magnificent apartment,
at from 7s. each to 100 guineas and upwards. J. Evans par-
ticularly recommends his improved KITCHEN RANGES,
with perpetual ovens and steam boilers, calculated for rout-
ing, boiling, baking, and steaming, on principles of econo-
my and general utility, allowed to be inferior to none ever
offered to the Public, at from 6 to 20 guineas each ; a larger
apparatus, for taverns and extensive establishments, from
30/. to 100/. each. Batits.closets, halls, staircases, conser-
vatories. itc. heated by steam from the back of the kitchen
range, or by means of a separate boiler, at a very trifling
, expense. Roasting jacks on the newest and moat approved
principles, or kitchens, camps, and ships. Warm air STOVES,
with ascending or descending flues. for halls. warehouses,
or shops. A very elegant variety of japanned and paper tea-
salvers, tea and coffee urns, plated articieswith silver mount-
ings, patent dish covers, and every article of culinary uten-
sits, *on the lowest terms. Patent French LAMPS, for din-
ner tables. sideboards, &c., in the greatest variety. Manu-
factory. I. Fish-street-hill, (corner house,) nearly opposite

made to own a power superior to their own ; and in-
stead of acting incontinual and direct opposition to the
wishes of the people, be forced to act inaccordancewith
their wishes, and for the general rood, rather than for
their own individual self-Interest. The great ob-
ject which they ultimately aimed at, was that
most important of all objects—a reform in the re-
presentation of the Commons House of Parlia-
ment. This took the place of every thing else, audit
was bie most fervent wish that it would soon be realized.
It waa(not his intention to enter into the missile of
the different plans and claims respecting Parliamentary
Reform, as nearly every one had his own opinion upon
the subject. He must, however, rejoice tbat Wadi-
pound had been Zisfrahcbised, as it recognised the
great principle of Reform; and though be might and
,did regret that the principle had not been further ex.
tended, and means left of gradually throwing open
the representation of those Boroughs to such towns
as Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, &c. yet still he
must congratulate them upon the principle of Reform
being established and encouraged by the Ministers
themselves, which ought to serve as a stimulus to
further exertion. He should not advert to the dif-
ferent points of politia.l economy, as these were topics
+the discussion of which was endless. If they looked
at the principles which the club had recognized in its
resolotions, and on which principles the constitution
of 1688 was founded, they would perceive that those
principles had been violated by every successive Tory
administration within the last 40 or 50 years; and if
they took a retrospective glance at the events of the
last 23 years, they would find that the great principles
of the constitution as established by the revolution of
1688, by the virtue of our ancestors, had been con-
tinually infringed opon with success. Ile wished the
restoration of the Parliament to a shorter duration, as
fixed at that revolution, from septennial to triennial
periods. He knew it was thrown in the teeth of the
Whigs whenever they advocated this measure, that it
was they who passed the septennial act, and who
cliariged the duration of Parliament from three to
seven years. gut they would remember that this was
dose at a time when party faction ran high, when the
State and Government were threatened with disso-
lution from the attempts that were made to restore the
civil and religious bigotry of the House of Stuart. If
it was viewed as an arbitrary act, they ought to review
the circumstances which occasioned it; and those nho
now advocated it ought to remember that it was dose
out of affection to the House of Brunswick ; that it
was only viewed as a temporary measure to meet the
peculiar exigencies of the times ; and that that Legis-
lature which passed it, never for.a moment rentem-
stated tie possibility of ,Bs continuance ups hundred
petits after the occasion which had given it its origin.
He could not but regard these as infringements upon
the constitution of England—(Loud applause)—and as
a proof of this, if any proof were wanting, he would
ask if among the great body of Whigs there could be
found one who would object to its repeal.—(Applause.)
Ask the Tories if they would consent to its repeal,
and their answer would be, No.—(Applause.) There
was not one Whig throughout the country of Eng-
land who would contend for its existence. On the
Tories, then, should fall all the odium of the measure,
as they were now the only persons who advocated it,
who perpetuated it long after the occasion which
gave it birth had gone by, and who still pertinaciously
adhered to it. If this hail been restored, would they
have tt itnessed those sets of the administration that
had disgraced the country within the late years?—
Would they have witnessed the numerous inroads
upon the liberties of the people ? Would they have
seen the suspension of the liaGeas Corpus Act ? And
it was scarcely necessary fur him to ask, would they
have seen those acts passed, the direct tendency of two
of which was to cripple the freedom of the press ?
Would they have witnessed the late scandalous and
infamous transaction against our lamented and injured
Queen ? No. Nothing but a dereliction from those
principles could have produced consepences so dis-
graceful to the country at large. But fur the minis-
ters, they would not have witnessed those scenes of
military interference which had so lately taken place
within the metropolis, when English b ood was shed
by the soldiers. it was not the least fatal of the Meets
of this abandonment of all principle, that it tended
to the destruction and dissolution of all order and
good government, for the event to which he alluded
was •considered as a triumph on the part of the people:
•and who could answer for the disastrous consequences
of this prepossession on the part of the people ? The
,rouble Lord concluded a speech of some length by
giving a little advice to the ytainger part of the mem-
bers who had enrolled themselves under the banners
of the club—that if they did change their political
opinions and influence to the side of their present ad-
versaries, let it not be done from the seductions of
power or the blandishments of a court, hut from honest,
upright, .and conscientious motives and convictions
'lf they did so, the world would soon do them justice,
would soon appreciate and respect their worth ; but it
they acted otherwise, the world wool" not long be de-
ceived. they would be unmasked and their pretensions
exposed. Lamentable indeed was it to consider the
number of individuals who hail unfortunately fallen
Inteklise snare power had laid for them. He trusted
it.woold not occur again : and his Lordship concluded
by returning the gentlemen thanks for the hoauur they
had date niin.—(4lreat applause.)
Mr. WILBRAHAM rose, and said he should take the
liberty of proposing to the gentlemen, as a toast, the
nealth of the worthy President.—(Applause.) On
every occasion, from his earliest infancy, lie had been
taught to look to the example of Lord Crewe as a
model for imitation. He could regard his Lordship
in no other light than as au honest wan, and *aim-
romplished gentleman.
LiardeCneus returned his most sincere thanks for
the honour' they had done hint in drinking his health.
