The nest toast was "'The Prince Regent. and may
he never forget bis own own spoptanenesdeclaratiou,
that (he Crown is held in treat for the benefit of the
People," which was drank with three times three
mid loud plaudits.

" The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family"
being then drank, the Cosinmso, Airier some pre-1
fatory ob*rvatious upon the imporionce of the great
family ribose health he was about to mention, pro.
posed the health of " The People of >1 lend,"
adding, " may they always recognise and adhere to
their courstilettonat sad.may they kifiltavii
spirit to defend tlseei.”---This toast was drank with
peculiar testimonies otapprobatlise.
The CHAIRMAN observed, that were le even ca.
pable of delineating the political • integrity, talent,
end industry of the distinguished individual to whom
be was about to call the attention of 'the Meeting, he
should think it unnecessary to onderteke the task, as
every person who heard him must be very well cc-
(painted with the conduct and Character of that Jodi.
video!. It was impossible, however, to do justice to
his feelings with regard to the merit of this
deal ; and therefore, without any farther expression
of these feelings, he should simply propose the health
of Mr. Waithman.-r(*plgurges, liond, universal,
and lung continued.)—When the. apPlaine allowed
him to repeat the toast, the Worthy Alderman pro-
posed " Mr. Weidman, the able, larepid, perse-
vering, advocate of the People's Helm, and may he
long retain, for the benefit of his fellow-eitieens, the
honourable distinction of Representative for this City
iu Parliament."
Mr. WAretimse (upon presenting himself on the
table, he was received with the most enthusiastic
cheers)—Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen, were I to
attempt to describe my feelings at this moment
know the attempt would be in vain. I never felt so
oppressed, if I may usis the term, with the kindness
of my friends as at this moments I feel the triumph
of this moment ; I feel it for myself ; I fell the ho-
nour which you hive conferred upon me, I feel the
higher ground to which you have raised me for de.
fending your rights—( dipplause)— ; but I feel
much more the general, cordial, and successful sup-
port which you have given to the principles which
always wished to advocate.—(Applause).—With
your support, and with your support alone, l now
console myself, and did console myself, when other.
ohs I must have sunk under the difficulties chick
opposed me.—(Great applause.)—Courage is per.
bps, a virtue in which you may think me least
deficient, and yet my courage would have fail-
ed me without your approbation and support.
—(Great aupplause.)—! believe I have your esteem
and friendship; I believe you think well of my pais-
Oplrs and of my conduct.—( Applause.)—For this
I thank you : but if you were met here this day
merely from personal enrichment to me, I should
reel great difficulty indeed in addressing you ; but,
huowing, as I do, that you are assembled to celebrate
the signal triumph of the cause of truth and freedom
in the election which returned me as one of your Re-
presentatives, I summon fortitude to speak, and to
congratulate you on your success, on the success of
the City of London, on the success of the whole
British empire.—(Great applause.)—Fur myself, if
I nsey be allowed to speak on so important a sub.
ject, I have to thank you for placing me in the
proudest situation in which an individual cats be
placed—a situation in which he can advocate the
rightism! liberties of the first nation in the world;
and you have placed me in this situation, not by the
powerful friendship of any particular person, but by
your own independent choice— (Applause)—for the
purpose of supportieg your independence, and se-
straistiog the tyrant', introduced and supported by
Ministers and their agents.—(Great applause.)—
Their gionnic efforts to establish a system of opi.
mons and of public conduct foreign to the feelings
and to the habits of this nation, I hope to see not
only shaken, but overthrown, absolutely overthrown,
aftdtthat for ever.—(Shouts of enthusiastic applause.)

first paling the way in the City by a meeting of 'M er.

ing its Merchant Tailore.hall, at which the au.
whoop its first raised, and at which no man (lino-
oppose the Ministerial sentiment without bosardinig
his life ; for a friend whom I have in my eptpl .
Fatten) very narrowly escaped with life from that
meeting. Every men's life was then at the p easel*
of she Minister, who made dilly encroachments eta
the Constitution, and had recourse to perpetual sus.,
pensions of the Hawse Corpus. Another meeting was
held at Grocers'-hell, in consequence of a petition front
the Livery in Comlnon.hall againstihe war : at that
' meeting, which you mutt all remember, I must ',Atee

all who advocated Reform, oholipp'osild the war, or
who disagreed with the Miniitee; *ire revolutinnisis,
fire-brands, and persons not to be endured in soeirtty.
Of late, they hue acted otheitiisi bet they have

tired into corners, and voted the public resolutions of
the Livery disloyal. Will they now charge es with

meetings of the loyalists; they soon set a.kicking one

contrary, meet and enjoy one. another's society in.

applause.)—ln canvassing, I ft.und loch a change of

'mots, as proved the lively interest now taken in the
conduct of your Representatives --(ilpp!aure)—At
the same time I found many who had no idea of mak-
ing any other use of their elective franchise but
merely to oblige or serve a friend. I hope thotevill
soon catch some of the flame which is happily oeiesis
powerful. It is most gratifying to met° see an taw
of the lowest persons, who are usually called rabble,
taking such a keen bet peaceable inietest in the tri-
umph of independence. Those mums age usually
