At Liverpool, Preston, Droitwich, Leeds, and Malden, the Tories of
Lancashire, Worcestershire, Yorkshire, and Essex, have been dining and spouting, and lauding themselves and the imma- culate House of Peers. The old topics serve their turn. ()Cost- NELL is still the 'best-abused man" at their parties; and Baron LYNDHURST little less than immortal. PEKL is evidently no fa- vourite, and the Duke is considered passé; but the faction is not so besotted as to suppose that they can dispense with the services of either: so they are not yet left out of the list of toasts.
The Reformers have had two entertainments—one at Worces- ter, the other at Chesterfield. The Tories had proclaimed a reaction at Worcester ; to which the lie was promptly given by an assembly of fifteen hundred good men and true, who took Reform of the Lords and Vote by Ballot as their watchwords. The Derby- shire Liberals signified their adhesion to Whig-Radicalism, by the hearty plaudits with which they greeted the rather Radical than Whig speech of their clever and entertaining Member, Mr. GISBORNE. This speech is by far the best that has been delivered at any public dinner since the prorogation of Parliament, except that of Mr. LEADER at Taunton; and the copious extracts which we make from it in subsequent columns will be well worth a pe- rpsal. .Mr. GtsnonNE advocates Mr. ROEBUCK'S proposal for a Suspensive veto as a mode of Peerage Reform. At the same Lae, he professes its be adverse to any change in the character of that body,—a palpable inconsistency, seeing that to deprive it of the power of rejecting bills passed by the Commons, is to effect an alteration in its character of the greatest importance. Mr. GISBORNE very properly rebukes the Whigs for their " take-all and give-nothing " doctrine of " mutual concession ;" and warns them, that the conduct of the Cornwall Whig Baronet, who re- jected" one of the most talented men in the House of Commons" because he would not abandon his Radical opinions, is precisely that which must break up the Liberal party.
