We learn from a circular letter which has been sent
to us, that it is the intention of the Reformers of the Borough of Lambeth to invite Lord DURHAM to a public dinner. We presume that this intention will not be persevered in ; as arrangements are now in progress for a grand Metropolitan Festival in honour of Lord DURHAM, to be held on the eve of the meeting of Parliament. At this Festival, the Re- formers of all the Metropolitan Districts, we presume, will go hand in hand. The advantage of concentrating the expression of public feeling and gratitude towards the man to whom the Metropolitan electors are so much indebted for the possession of their franchise, is too evident to need enforcement. Every one, moreover, should be aware, that Lord Durmast's delicate state of health and his habits of life unfit him for the office of an itinerant diner-out and political mountebank: the Re- formers of England know his value too well to think of lowering tarn to a level with HENRY HUNT, or the other HENRY, HUNT'S namesake and double. An earnest but unobtrusive Reformer, like Lord Dolmas, is for great practical occasions, trot for quackish and everyday display.
