His luggage was taken from the vessel i tW Custom hourfe to undergo the uscmt inspection. When the last think was opened, Cobbett oliserved to the surrounding spectators, who * had assembled in greal numbers, ? Here are the bones of the late Thomas Paine*" This declaration excited a sudden and visible sensatiou, and the crowd pressed forward to see the contents of the package. Cobbett remarked, that a Great indeett must that man have .been, whose very' bones attracted such attentlon."-^ The officer took out the coffin platey inscriljed " Thomas Paine, ageil 7 % died 8th June 1800, and having lift ed up several of the bones, replaced tlie whole, and passed them.

To Welcome his return to His native couutry, a number of his |>olHical friends io Liverpool, determined to have a public meeting, and give him a dinne^A Clayton Square was the place fixed on to receivejiim, ? The day appointed for the meeting proved remarkably unfavorable.-? The enow and sleet fell copiously un til late m the evening, and fears were entertained, by the impatient crowd^who had assembled, that lie would not make his appearance. ? But at length their anxiety was re lieved. A few minutes after half fast seven, be entered the square through Parker street. He came in an open hackney coach, accom panied by his son William, Mr. Thos. Smith, & one ortwo other indi viduals. He was received with ming led hisses and applause. The vehi cle drew up in the south west corner i of tltfe square, tovferda which quar ter there was-ji great rush. The ap plauses anil hisses were continued witjb great vehemence. Several falsealaTms of danger were, in the" course of the performance,* raised, and it was truly fusing to see the trepidation with which great numbers Bed. from the square through the dif ferent streets which^ lead out of it. * Cobbeti' endeavored repeatedly to obtain a .hearing, but so loud was the storm, tnd so great the confu-. sjon that prevailed among the multi tude that noney but the favored few : around the carriage, could catch, with accuracy, the purport of his, observations, They were directed^ we believe, to two points^? tlie state ment of his motives for bringing the Iwmes of Paines from America ; and the. necessity of arefbrm in the Com mons House of Parliament, and a detail of the j>lan of reform* After the coach had irmaineVl about a quar-; ter of an hefuv on the ground where it first drew up, it was removed to another part of the square, and the orator .proceeded with his speech with, less interruption than before, iff the conclusion, he informed the multitude, that it was his intention to offer hi;i'self|ps member, for th* city of Chichester, where thcrfc was now ? vacancy, in consequence ?f the Earl of March having been catt ed to tli? Htwse of Peters^ mid that he had already sent off hip address to the elector of that place. Cta- , fortnnatejy for .jV*t. Cobbett, says the London Courier, Lord George Lenox, is already gazetted as re turned for that tlqroegb. lie then took leave of ihe multitude) and the coach drove from -the square. When it had ivaclfed the "top of Hanover street) the horses were taken off and Cobbett was drawn to his lodgings by the jmpulacev Ih the evening, tfie dinner given to fobbfeit, in honor of his arrival in England, took place at the Castle Ion, Lord street. Thcfltompany who feat down to it did not exceed sixty. It was a truly Kadical Meeting.? Nothing buttlie radical beverage,. wa ter, was on the table during dinner, of which the company took copious libation?. Many however did not relish such insipid beverage, and suffered the force of habit, or the < Tavfttgs of appetite, to predominate over a sense of public duty in ab staining from every taxable commo <tity. Many therefore indulged themselves in wine* andfspirituous . liquors; but still more,^ and Mr. i CoW>ett among them, remained true' to the radical resolution, and mag* nanimously abstained from drinking any thing but (Hire water. After the cloth had been reiboved, the chair* man proceeded with the toasts. A morg them were the following t The memory oL our famous countryman, Thomas Paine, the 4 noble of nature,' the child of the i lower orders,' illustrious from his unrivalled talents, and still more illustrious from the employment of those talents in the cause of the op pressed of all nations." The chairman then proposed the health of^Cohbeti, which was drunk with thunders of applause. Mr. Cobbett addressed the con J pany in a long speech. TTe first I noticed the slanders which had been T heaped upon him during bis^bsettce Jrora England^ and which he said, j I were not only false, hut atrocious I and nn manly ; but he had to thank J the i;ood sense of ttie country for J having rendered them of no effect. | He then proceeded to the subject of I parliamentary reform. Upon the I present corrupt state of tjie repre J tentative system, aud the necessity, I nature, and extent of reform, he de I scanted at some length.. We did I not perceive that he advanced any4 I thing new upon this hackneyed topic. I He then adverted to the subject of I the bones of Thomas Paine, and J eutered into a long justification of I his motive in disinterring and Uing. I ing them to England. He then pro- I I ceeded to defend himself from tho. 1 I charge of inconsistency which had 1 I been brought against bitn, in having J I once abused the very man whose I I bones he bow intended to honor. | I This he did by urging the plea of* I immaturity qf judgment and want I I qf experience at thp time he attack- I I ed Paine, and because Paiiie was I then supporting the enemies of his I I country, ^ Conscious tha^t he had | I done Paine an injustice in his early I I days, he was willing on his return I I to America, to listen to a suggestion I I of Mr. Jfonbow'fi to. bring his bonies I I j His remains had been I I dishonored in America, though he I j was the founder of her independence, I l lot .te w as the first man to propose I I the declaration against England, and j I the proposal was opposed by the ce- 1 f lebratedipr. Franklin. W ith re- | I *pect to his object in bringing these I I bones to England, it was to have I I them exhibited in London to as many I I persons as might choose to come to I I see them* He intended to do every I I thing he conld to raise a sufficient I I sum, in order that a colossal statue I I .Paine's memory, I I ana, if he lived, he hoped to execute I I his purpose. y I At 11 o'clock in the evening, af- I I ter having sufficient] y regaled them- I I selves upon the untaxable liquors of I the country, the company retired per- 1 I fectly sober . I It ipay perhaps be proper to copy I here what Cobbett said 6f Paine a | I ?nv y? I a 6?> when he wrote'his I I life. He concludes thus r " How Tom gets a living now* or I I what brothel Jie inhabits, 1 know I I not, nor does it mudOTfehify.
