DINNER IN HONOUR or POLISH LIBERT Y.—A dinner, on which

the subsequent arrivals have bestowed a melancholy interest, took place at the Crown and Anchor on Wednesday ; Mr. Hobhouse in the chair. Sir Francis Burdett had intended to preside, on the presumption of tlfe Reform debate finishing on Tuesday: its continuance through Wed- nesday night also, kept him in the House of Commons, though Ile had no opportunity of delivering his sentiments on the subject.

After the usual toasts, Mr. Hobhouse gave the independence of Poland. Mr. Thomas Campbell, who has sung of " Freedom's shriek when Kosciusko fell," gave the noble guest in whose honour chiefly the dinner had taken place, the Marquis of Wielopolski. The Marquis, in returning thanks—which he did in French—mentioned a circumstance which still holds out some lingering hope of Polish liberty. Poland, said the Marquis, was defended by her national guard, " And of whom did that national guard consist ? Of every mall capable of bearing arms—all were ready to wield the sabre, or if they had not the sabre, to use the knife against their Calmuck oppressor. The same regular troops which the Russians would have fought at Warsaw, they would find in bodies of guerillas in the different villages of Poland ; and the same re- sistance which they would have experienced from the inhabitants of Warsaw, they would experience from the walls of every village. He believed that the Russians, even if they conquered at Warsaw, would be fatigued by the resistance with which they would he met in every vil- lage into which they might enter. lie depended much 011 the mal-orga- nization of the Russian forces, and the excellent organization of the Polish troops, for the future independence of Poland. He then alluded to the conduct of the brave men who were intrusted with the command of the Polish armies, and spoke with great confidence of Prince Radzivil. The Marquis said that his own family was connected with England by historical recollections. In the records of his family, he had found that an ancestor of his had been ambassador from Sigismond the Third of Poland, to James the First of England. Let him be permitted to remind them of this ancient connexion between them, for their kindness on the present occasion was likely to render the memory of it indestructible. He knew not what fate might soon betide him, for every cannon-shot which now sounded from the walls of Praga and Gruschoff-those walls which a Suvaroff had once deluged with blood, and which a Diehitsch was now attempting to render memorable by a similar atrocity—might fall on his father, brothers, uncles, and friends, whom he had embraced perhaps for the last time, and leave him a lonely sojourner on the face of the world. But come what might, be should not regret the part which he and they bad taken, but would, to the last moment of his existence

exclaim that it was better to die a freeman than to live a slave to Russian barbarism and to Russian violence."

Themeeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Wilkes, who toasted Lafayette ; by Mr. Hume, who drank to the prosperity of Belgium ; by Mr. O'Connell, who gave the union and independence of Italy ; and by Colonel Jones, who gave a speedy restoration of freedom to Spain. Count Laborde, Mynheer Behr, Signor Rossiti, and Senhor Arguelles, :poke in reply to these compliments to their respective countries. The Members of Parliament withdrew soon after dinner, to attend the de- bate; and the whole of the company broke up at an early hour.

REFORM MEETINGS—We noticed several meetings in our last num- ber; the following (and many more, we doubt not) have taken place or been reported since. We need not say that the Reform2Bill has been eatanimously and gratefully accepted by the whole of them.

Monday Burton . — PIThe Bar, including all the silk gowns on the Western circuit, the Law Students of iLondon, and various other bodies, have signed petitions iu favour of the bill, without the formality of calling meetings. Requisitions are also in course of signature in every part of the coun- try ; among the places we find Dublin, Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire, Selkirkshire, Holbeach, Stamford, Thsrney, Worcester, Evesham, Deal, and Waterford. In fact, meetings are held or ap- pointed to be held every day. It is said, that a petition against the mea- sure is getting up in Essex ; and there is one in Dorsetshire in course of signature, praying for a more limited Reform. At Leeds and some other }laces, the authorities have refused to call a meeting in pursuance of requisitions respectably signed, but the inhabitants have met in spite of the absence of that formality. At Chester, all parties concurred in ap- proving the Ministerial measure, though the members had made strong representations of its bad effects upon a numerous class of their consti- tuents. The requisition for the meeting of Dublin is signed by men of

all creeds and parties. ._ The temper of the people was well displayed at the City and South. crack meetings. At the former, they would not hear the voice of Cob- Lett, lest it should sound an objection ; and Sir Robert Wilson was not well endured at the latter. Lord Mayor Key declared his approval of the measure in terms of as enthusiastic eulogy as the most unsuspected Reformer could have done.

CITY NEW POLICE.—This body is now in force. Their uniforms ar similar to those of the Metropolitan Police. They are lettered also in the same manner on the collar ; but the City insignia, neatly worked in different colours, are substituted for the figures. The clothing is blue, with a yellow button.
