Dinner Of ReCorn,ers at the London Tar
era.-On Monday, upwards OF two hundred
persons assembled at the London Tavern, To
commemorate by dinner the late events at
Paris, and agree 20 an address TO the people
of that city. Mr. Goblet presided. At half
past five, that gentlJman accompanied by
Sir Thomas Deevor, hi, sons and several other
gcntlemen) entered TIN room, and was warm
w greeted. The company very generally
wore some tr-colored ,mblcm, and a tIicolor-
ed flag was suspended over the seat of the
Chairman. On the cbth being removed,
Mr.. CoBRETr mounted tho table, and was
received with enthusiastic cheers. He was
Their, he said, turned ofsxty-four years, and
that was the happiest day of mis- lie, not ex.
ccpting those days when hps were more sweet
to him than dew upon the cowslip. (Checrs
and tdughter.) Such times renovated him.
They almost made a man young again
Many persons then present recolected the
year 1914, when that flag tho emblem of the
true and gallant French nation, was put
down by i,lOO,0OO armed foreigners. They
remembered the exulting pride of the Ars-
tocracy on that occasion, at having put down
that flag. But it was up again and they
were met to boast of the event, and send their
thanks and their praise TO the authors of the
glorious achievement. He was there to pre-
sent them an address for their adoption
Mr.. Goblet then read the following Address !:
The Rqormers Of London, (aSScmbicd at
me London Id1ern, on the 10th of august,

" Friends: We, the Relormers of London.
speaking the voice of millions of Enclisb.
men, present to you our congratulations on
the victory that your valor has obtained for
yourselves, and our best thanks for the good
mat must arise from your noble example
we who, and whose fathers have been, for
hity years, striving III vain To recover our
right OF choosing Representatives; we, who,
during that struggle, have sometimes seen
the champions of our cause crammed into
Jails and dungeons, and sometimes reduced
TO silence by military force; we, who have
heard IT declared in the House of Commons
| Itself, that the sale or barter of seats in that
| House was as notorious as the sun at noon
day; we know that that House has, for thlr-
! ty-seven years, had on its table an offer Ia
prove that majority of the members are put
In 1t by the sole will of a hundred and fihy.
| TOUR Peers and other rich men-the truth of
which statement has never been questioned
we, who have press held in heavy bonds
peset with perilous TAPS, and so loaded with
TAX mat the Government receives fourpence
and quarter of another penny out of every
s'Hpencc Tor which newspaper is sold by tho
proprietor we, who behold the industrious
and laborious classes of whom we form a
part, brought down to ruin, and, in great
numbers, reduced to the lowest stage of hu-
man degradation, clad in miserable rags, de.
prlved OF suiiiniency of food fit for man,
| and, In many cases, actually starved to
death, while those who recei, the fiuit OF
/ our labor wailow in wealth, luxury, and
| splendor we, who we'll know that this
e I - '-~voiuI state of things arises en-
uiety from our not being permit al freelv IA
e"ooSe our representatives; we, who inns
su1er, and thus know the cause of our s,frar-
ing we' who have so long been bereft even
nope now In contemplating your glorious
achieVement, feel that hope revive In our
posoms, and bid us look forward to happier
gays "hen we saw the tri.colored fac torn
rom you by combined Europe with million
OF men In arms, we mourned from the bottom
OF our hearts. In that we saw the symbol OF
the valor and the patriotism of freenen, the
principle OF the sovereignty of the people
and above all things, the assertion of ,ba,
most precious OF all rights the right of the
people freely to choose those who make the
laws; and we had the sad forebodinr, that
along with this glorious flag, under which
freedom had won her thousand battles, these
sacred principles and rights would be tram.
pied under foot II is, then, with iov I'M
bounded thai we again see this immortal far
In the air. In 1t we behold tho fall of tyran.
ny decreed. In it we behold the humiliation
OF insoient and rapacious Aristocracv. In il
we behold a-sure guarantee for the req liber-
" OF the fress, and tor The right of represent
'ation: In II we behold the pledge of peace
ana friendship between the people of En-,
this ensign OF virtue and of Justice waves o.
yer our heads, to an expression of our ADM
ration OF The valor and the wisdom of those
who have again raised it alo.';, we add orr
iervent prayer that the survivor of the com
pat may ENJOY, through life, Gods choicest
blessing; and that every fairest and sweetes,
Hover may bloom on the graves of the slain -
Ihey should recollect CONTINUED Mr.. G. }
that the victory they were met to celebrate
was achieved by the working men of Paris
not by the Arisiocracy, not by the Members
OF Inc Chamber Of Deputies: it was accom-
pushed by men who felt oppression, who
were afraid of being berelt of the fruits of
Their Industry. Bnt what did the French
King want to do ? lie only wanted to deprive
the people of the power of choosing their
own representatives, of taxing themselves
power which we were already deprived Of.
II we had to tax ourselves, should we allow
lid. to be taken out Of every newspaper
That sold for Cd. i? Should we allow ll3 of
the Aristocracy to share among them annu-
ally 6oo,OOOt. of the peoples money? The
people wanted their rights restored-not to
demolIsh the Government. If, indeed, the
country were so plunged in difficulties that
II could not be relieved if there were no
choice whether the 100000 families, mostly
OF the middle classes, who we're the proprie.
tors OF the national debt, could not be saved
but by appropriating the Crown lands and
the revenues of the Church TO thoir use, he
would hundred thousand times sooner see
these revenues of the Cburcb 10 tba;r ,so he
