WESTMINSTER MEETING. Yesterday there was a very numerous and respect able Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of West minster, held in Palace-yard, ftlir the purpose of con. slating how best to accelerate the obtaining a full, equal, and constitutional Representation of the People is Parliament. The hustings were, as usual, erected in Palace Yard ; and at one o'clock Sir FRANCIS BUR-. DETT, accompaniedbylord COCHRANE, Major CART.. WRIGHT, Messrs. Cs.muty, WALKER, PERKINS, &C. took their places. Sir FRANCIS fluanterr then came forward, amidst loud clouts of applause. He told the persons assem bled there, that he had been desired to preside at the Meeting that day, the object of which was to consi der of the best means of obtaining a- full, free, and equal Representation of the People in Parliarnent. The Gentlemen who desired him to preside there, would addreis them on this great constitutional ' point; aid he hoped theyiellsold give-a-Mr and at tentive hearing to every Gentleman who should de ' liver his sentiments—( Loud applause).—lt was only ' by so doing they could hope to come to a rational conclusion on what was this day to be laid before them. He was fully persuaded it was unnecessary for him to say more, convinced as he was of the im partiality of those he had now the honour to address. Major Caerweionx then addressed the 'Meeting. He said, if he had a voice as loud as the largest bell in London, they should hear him, while he stated the grievances under which the people laboured ; because there never was a time when it was more necessary than the present for the people to hear those who were disposed to give them advice (Amlatises). As he himself had now nearlyimtlived his competi tors, and outlived the Constitution itself, he was not able to address them at the length that his inclination prompted him to ; and therefore he hoped they would excuse his inability to make a long speech; but he had written an Address to the Electors of Westmin ster, which, by the favour -of their common friend, Mr. Wooler, had already been sent forth to the pub lic. He should now therefore content himself with proposing his Resolutions one by one, making his re marks on each as he proposed it.—Major Cartwright then proposed his first Resolution, the substance of I which was, that Parliament held a vicarious and de legated trust; that they could not suspend the liber ties of the country, which would be the subversion of the Constitution ; and that they had no authority to screen, by an Act of Indemnity, any persons who had been guilty of violations of that Constitution. 1 Sir natters BURDETT said, if any Gentleman present had ..ny remark to make on the Resolution, the present was the time to do so ; and if not, he should put it to the vote. Mr. WALKER said, he should second this Resolu tion ; and in doing so he did not wish to weaken its effect by any observations on so clear and compre hensive a statement as his venerable friend had just now delivered. Major CARTWRIGHT said, that in his next Resolu tion he had to take notice of a prominent fact, which had not been sufficiently attended to in public meet ings. For the last twenty-four years Parliamentary Reformers had become objects of public persecution. He took the date of the commencement of those per secutions from the time when Mr. Hardy and Mr. Drake were taken up on charges of high treason, merely because they wanted to obtain a Reform in Parliament—because they had committed acts of treason against the boroughmongers—(Loud/aughter and applause).--Another persecution of a similar kind, took - Place five or six years ago, when a very worthy man, a Mr. Knight, and thirty-six other persons, were taken up on a charge ot hilt treason, when their only offence was that of reading a Petition for Parliamentary Reform—{Loud applause). He then read the second Resolution, as follows : " That it appears to this Meeting, that for four and twenty years lan past, Parliamentary Reformers have been constant ob jects of calumny and persecution, by those who are interested in the continuance of state corruptions." This was then put by the Chairman, and unani mously agreed to. MajOT CARTWRIGHT next brought forward his third Resolution, which he thought it necessary to draw up on account of the Ho us e of Commons hav ing last year rejected 4.68 Petitions for Parliamentary MIDDLESEX, Reform, merely because they were printed, and not Between HARROW and EALING, on the Road to written Petitions. He then read the Resolution, UXBRIDGE, seven miles from London. which was as follows : Capital FREEHOLD and COPYHOLD ESTATES, ettr " That last year's rejection at one time, by the House of Commons, of four hundred and sixty-eight Petitions signed b y to FREEHOLD, upwards of FOUR HUNDRED A ° D al the hands 'of the Petitioner s, for Parlianientary Refor m, , because EIGHTEEN ACRES, the principal part rich Meadow, the the subject matter of those Petitions was printed, was an illegal remainder Arable Land; Eligible Cottage Residence, Farm- and ! indecent . obstruction of the sacred right of petitioning House!, and Buildings ; part bounded by the River Brent, qua' y viola ting the Nation's bitenies, and the House's own and near the Grand Junction Canal.

Lord COCHRANE said, he should conceive that he TICURSDAY, the 16th April, at Twelve o'clock, in Lots, (un was guilty of a dereliction of his duty, if he abstain-I km an acceptable offer is made for the whole before the lit of April), ed from giving an opinion on the subject of this Re- THE VERY VALUABLE FREEHOLD and solution, which opinion was different from that of .. part COPY HOLD ESTATES, held under the Bishop of the wo rthy Major.

He hoped the Meetiiii; would aieic.‘ . wick-smet, Golden-spate, wbetu a Plan may be seq. with him in adopting the Resolution, which hit Lordship then read as follows " That the employment of hired ruffians to instigate the needy, starving, and destitute, to acts of den-crawl, in order Id impute to Parliamentary Reformers thf crime of Treason, and taking away their lives under that pretence, is more etre:loaf than any act of the Tyrant of Algiers against who,e woe*, it is stated in a Morning Paper of t his day, that has interfered for the protection of man by sweeping tht &got to his grave, midi; the rejoicings of the people v. hom he had w grievously oppressed.' " had no doubt but they would see the propriety of adopting this as an amendment, and le felt him self bound to press it on their notice. Mr. HUNT • then came forward, and having suc ceeded in getting over the railing between him and Lord Cochrane, he proceeded bh addressyhe meeting. lie said he came forward for the purpose of suggest ing to the Noble Lord the propriety of suffering the Electors, or more properly speaking, the inhabitants of Westminster ' to decide for themselves. It might be considered obtrusive in any person to submit, in that place, shy proposition which had not been pre viously assented to at a private meeting of a Com mittee. This he knew to have been a practice ; and in consequence of that practice, the opinions of the citizens at large had generally been treated with contempt—(Cr ies of No, no, O off; and hisses). — Mr. Hunt proceeded. He said, he contended that any Petition to the House of Commons, whether printed or not, if men put their names to it, must be considered as the Peutton of those who signed it, and that, therefore, it ought to be received. - It was as much the Petition of those who signed it, as if it were written by their own hands ; but, according to the doctrine of the Noble Lord, and of the House over the way, it was laid down that no Petition should be printed. But he maintained, that it was at once contrary to right, to law, and to precedent, to kick Petitions out of the House on that account. He therefore hoped the proposition of the Noble Lord would be withdrawn, and that the Major's Re solution would be put and carried. He was the more • anxious on this point, because he did not see how they could otherwise adopt the remaining Resolutions of the venerable Major, who, they all knew. was the indefatigable champion of the cause. Major CARTWRIGHT said, the Noble Lord mistook the object he had in view by his Resolution. It was an illegal act for the House to refuse any Petitions to which sign.,tures were attached, whether written or printed. All Petitioners had a sight to print or I write, just as they pleased. Five or six years ago, the late Speaker of the Hou.e of Commons, who had as sharp an eye and as long a sight as any man, knew that hundreds of Petitions were intended to be presented tc the House, and that they were all print . ed. He then thou:•,ht it would be a good opportu nity to put an end to them all ; and therefore he said it was contrary to the rules of the House to receive them. He (Major Cartwright) therefore wrote to the Speaker, in order to set his opinion right on the subject. The next time a Petition of the kind came forward, the Speaker said it was . contrary to the practice of the House. That expression was also in correct, and was contradicted by the Journals of Parliament. It was. easy to see the drift of the Speaker, as it was to enable the Bbroughrnongcrs to put an end to petitioning altogether. He hoped, therefore, that the doctrine, which was wholly ille gal, would be resisted. He had no objection to ae,ree to the Resolution of the Noble Lord : but it ought not to be substituted for his, which he also hoped would be agreed to. Mr. WALKER said, that unless it could be proved that a Petition in print was less intelligible than a Petition in manuscript, it might be received. lie therefore would not consent that Major Cartwright should give up his Resolution. Petitions in print were necessary, because it was necessary to have the opinions of the People as universally diffused as possible. Lord COCHRANE again said, that printed Petitions did not appear to convey the sentiments of those who signed them. The local grievances of the people were always best expressed in their own words, which were always sufficiently intelligible to enable the public to judge of their sentiments. Mr. HUNT observed, that as his Lordship per sisted in his amendment, it was necessary to explain what would he the consequence of it. If it was adopted, then the original Resolution could not be proposed. It was, therefore, necessary to negative the Noble Lord's amendment ; but he would after wards cheerfully join in carrying it as a distinct Ito solution. If they went on upon this principle of printed Petitions, it would by and bye be said, thae no man ought to adopt the LORD'S Prayer, because it was printed. ' Sir FRANCIS BURDETT put the question. The Amendment was rejected, and the original Resolu tion carried almost unanimously. Major CARTWRIGHT said he begged to propose a Petition to the House of Commons, with a view to correct that which appeared to be very erroneous conduct on the part of that House towards Petitions. Mr. CLEARY read the Petition on the subject of rejecting printed Petition. The Petition was read, Major CARTWRIGHT moved that it be signed by the Chairman, and nineteen householders of the l'ity of Westminster, in order to its being presented to ,!,e theAt• of Conineets. Mr. 111/NT said, that whenever lie felt an attempt at deception was going forward,-he had always telt it his duty, and should now, to lay it before his •1- low-countrymen. lie had attended the Alerting prepa.itory to the present one. At that Meeting the several Resolutions which 'Major Cartwright pro posed were agreed to. The previous Meeting had agreed to call a Meeting of the inhabitants of the City' of Westminster, anti the persons attending it signed a notice, to be given to the Clerk of the Peace, in whi..li it was said, " Vie, the undersigned, do hereby give notice, that a Meeting of the househol ders, inhabitant:, &c. will be called on such a day." Now this notice had bscii sisoe.: v,ly with, and a
