miscellaneous sjttbate catttffpoirttncc of tc bafljiaabcttlsct liverpool sept 21 1831 the edinburgh dinner to lord grey was truly a national fcstivitf worthy of scotland and mc occa sion whatever difference of opinion may exist respecting many points of ear greys general po- itcy and great diderence does necessarily exist on the subject still all but the most biyotied and be sotted will admit that he bestowed upon scotland a constitution uiou her eons a benefit which will outlive the present and succeeding ages- had the expremier termiiimed his official life on the pas sing of the reform bill instead or tarnishing that great victory by the selfishness of his more subse quent acts he would have gone down tu posterity as one of the greatest men and ablest statesmen that ever regulated a nationscouucils notwithstanding however earl grey deserves well of bis country and more especially that portion of the north of the tweed the dinner is represented on all hands to have been on a scale of the most superb magnificence though the hungry visitors are said to have dispatched the substantias and satisfied the cravings of nature long before the arrival of the great mion of the day so impatient and voracious were th compa ny that the dinner was nil but finished before burl grey whom it was intended to honor entered the apartment the scene thus produced the compa ny eating before the appointed signal ami stewards begging them tn desist for a time is described in the london journals with infinite tact and humour the tory journals have seized upon this circum stance to represent

greys address was remarked for that elegance which distinguishes his addresses the statement that he regarded this compliment more strongly be cause it was not paid to a minister in the plenitude ofgreatness but to one who had descend lie would not say fallen from power was remarkably terse and told well the speeches of sir j 0 hob- house and m- e etlice both members of the ca binet are remarkable for their abhuirence of the truckling policy hitherto pursued by the cabinet in order to conciliate the tone altogether apart from the friendly and personal feeling evinced not only by the scotch metropolis but the whole uf the scotch people in almost every part of the kingdom 10 lord grey the meeting is important in another light as showing the firm and decided opposition in viiieli tory doctrines are held in that part of the united kingdom this feelinjr will doubtless ap pear the more strong from the circumstance of the tory section oi the city of edinburgh being about logive a dinner to the great champion of toryism the duke of wellington if i mistake not judging from the feelings of the people aud the present po sition of parties in the scotch metropolis this last attempt
