true cause of the distress of the country. At great cause of that distress-..namely, that tuinous war which had entailed upon the vy and wretchedness. Was there, he would ask, for a moment, could believe that the House of • present constituted, could serve their con. ;its. or do any thing to relieve the distresses of the people ? ( hear, hear, and Cheers.) He (Mr. Hunt) had often differed with I , :e worthy Alderman (Walthmen) upon political matters—but, eevertheless, that would not prevent him from doing the worthy Al nerman all the justice he deserved for the honest, manly, and straigh ter ward manner in which he on a late occasion, in his place in Par liament, resisted the voting away millions of the public money, and that too at a late hour at night, when thieves of easy descrip tici. were abroad. (A laugh.) He hoped the public Press would not I.tit that expression of his down as meaning aught of d to that honourable House. No good could be expected 1!•:it House whilst it remained as it now wa s Mr. Nicholson had said that he never would lend himself to ^Amother petition it ins own of that day was not attended to. Now he thought Mr. Nicholson would have acted much more wisely if he bad not lent himself to that petition.—(A laugh.) What was the remedy which was now proposed? It was, that there should be a committee of inquiry appointed of the members of the House of Commons upon this subject. Was there any necessity, he would ask, for inquiry? —(Hear, hear.) Was there any member of the House of Commons ignorant of the distress of the country ? ( Hear.) Were ministers ignorant of it ?—(Hear, hear.) No ; they were not ignorant of it; but they were determined to continue the present system as long as they could draw a shilling from the pockets of the people.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Were those circum. stances under which the citizens of London—the most en lightened part of the community—ought to hold up their hands in that hall, and vote for a Committee of Inquiry if he thought that any possible good could accrue from it, or if any gentleman present, particularly if be was a Member of the House of Com mons—for instance, the worthy Alderman, would pledge himself that any good would be gained by such a committee, he would agree to the resolutions, and withdraw any opposition be might have thought fit to have offered to them. But he should not feel that be was doing his duty if he did not propose one or two resolutions to be added to those which they had already heard. He had been in prison for two years and a half for his advocacy of the principles which were contained in the resolutions be was going to read to them ' • but 20, nay 30 years more of imprisonment would not deter him, or make him forego the advocacy of those principles which he considered a sacred cause. They would perhaps be told that they were asking for more than they had a right to expect. Let the people ask for what they were entitled to demand their rights (Hear, hear, and chats ) If the Meeting would only sanction his resolutions by its appro bation, they would receive double the force in their applica tion by being sanctioned by so highly respectable a meeting of the merchants, shipowners , and citizens of London. If they should sp. prove of those resolutions, and stamp them with their sanction, he should then feel that he had not lived in vain. They had now ar rived at that state of distress that foreigners must be shocked when they read the accounts in the papers of what want has caused in this country—they had now arrived at a period when even the very beggar in the streets knew the corruption of the House of Commons —nay, it was not only acknowledged on all bands outside, but even inside that house. Knowing that, what did they expect from a committee of inquiry of that house? He_ would ask them to look at Mr. Goulbourn's expoa the other evening. It appeared from that, that the Ministers never intended to do any thing to relieve the people from their burdens. They propose to reduce the expenditure something, but say nothing about a reduction of taxa tion. If any thing was to be done effectually in the way of roc ducing the expenditure, it should be done as was eloquently ex pressed bi ci a l ientleman who had spoken—namely, by commencing with the (cheers), then the members of the Royal Family, and so on to e Army and Navy, and the other branches of ex penditure. It bad been said that justice had not been done to the Marquis of Camden for generously_ giving up his sinecure of 8,0001. as Teller of the Exchequer. He should not give him an credit for giving up that to which he was not entitled, and of which he had robbed the country for so many years. (No, no.) Now he should like to set them right upon that subject ; and he would not be put down by a few persons, who knew nothing about the matter. When the Marquis of Camden era Recorder of Bath, a petition was got up in that city, signed by about 10,000 most respectable persons, with a view towards petitioning the l lature to relieve the people from this shameful sinecure.. i e nt mation was given to the Noble Marquis that this petition was to be presented to the House of Commons, and then it was, the very night before it was to have been presented, that he sent in his re signation. (Hear hear.) He felt quite ashamed of having so long taken up their time. (Cries of No, no.") He felt grateful to them for the kind attention with which they had beard him; and in conclusion he could only say that his fellow-cWzats and coun trymen, whether in prosperity or distress, should always com mand his best efforts for their welfare. (Mr. Hunt, having read the following resolutions, sat down amidst the greatest chew ing) Resolved,—That in the opinion of this meeting, the general and overwhelming distress which now pervades all ranks and classes in this country who are not annuitants, and who do not live upon the taxes, originated in the long, bloody, and extravagant wars waged and arried on against the liberties of the people of America and of France, during the reign of George the Third, which wars were sanctioned and abetted by a very large majority of a corrupt and self-elected House of Commons. Resolved—That in the opinion of this Meeting, the immediate cause of this distress is solely to be attributed to acts of Parliament, sanctioned by Parliaments not chosen by the people of England, and r that it is in vain, nay, that it is %Milli and delusive, to expect, or to hold out an opinion to the country, that these distreues will ever be relieved till there is a real, effbetual, and radical Reform in the Commons House of Parliament. They were seconded, and carried unanimously. Aldermen Tuorersox and WOOD then addressed the meeting, and pledged themselves to support the Petition Parliament. The Loan MAYOR then put Mr. Nicholeen's amendment, which was lost, and the resolutions were carried unanimously. His Lordship then put Mr. Hunt's resolutions, which were car ried with acclamation. The petition is to be presented to the House of Common. by Mr. Alderman Waithman, and Lord Radnor is to present it to the House of Lords. Thanks were moved to the LORD MAYOR, who returned thanks, and expressed his willingness to forward upon all occasions the views of his fellow-citizens. • Prince Carignan, the heir to the throne of Sardinia, is still in disgrace with the Court. The Grand Duke of Tuscany and the King of Bavaria are endeavouring amicably to arrange the dif. *tenon. Saturday the dispatches were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships, viz. the Edinburgh, Captain Henry Bax ; Berwkishire, Captain Frederick Madan, for Bombay and China. The Echo of Truth, a paper published - at Naplei, esti mates the number of the population of the universe at 832 mil. lions in Europe 172, Asia 330, Africa 70, America 40, Australia 20. The number of births and deaths annually thus t— in births 23,407,410; deaths, 18,688,235: being at the rate of 44 births and 93 deaths in erery minute. The County Members will, it is hoped, lose no oppor tunity in cesuktnily urging Ministers to reduce the taxation; and, by what fell from the Chance lor of the Exchequer on Friday, it is hoped that they will not appeal in vain. Colonel Rowan, the Chief Commissioner of Police, had a long conference, a few days since, with the select committee of the Court of Aldermen, relative to the proposed introduction of the new system into the City. At a late Old Bailey Sessions a man, convicted of sheep stealing, had his sentence spited on the ground that the animal was described in the indictment as a sheep only, and not as a ex& sheep. A Correspondent asks, " How is it, notwithstanding that woollen cloths have fallen most considerably in price, still the tailors continue to charge most extraeagessefy for articles of clothing ? (The question is easily answered—the public are simple enough to comply with the tailors' extortions.) M. T. Sadler, Esq. the Honourable Member for Newark, is at present much indisposed.

The notices of Mr. lEttiot's indisposidon, and of the perform ance at Drury Lane last night, are unavoidably postponed, in con sequence of the length and importance of our Parliamentary Report. A Morning Paper of to-day—with reference to the late Hanover Square catastrophe—has the audacity to talk of the innocence of the illustrious person, who was the cause of that catastrophe. We recommend him to be quiet: we recommend him, especially, not to implicate really in nocent individuals, in his eagerness to exculpate cha racters, which are damned too deep in infamy for excul pation ever to redeem. He talks about men being mur dered—an infelicitous expression, considering whose cause he is asserting—" by the fiend-like falsehoods of a faction:" and he invokes LA W--J USTIC E—MOR ALI T Y-••• DNCENC Y—in the name of him, who has insulted and outraged them all. The public—he tells us— are now satisfied of the perfect innocence of that MAN, to whom guilt cleaves as a garment: and he calls upon him to face his accusers, and not be deterred from adopting severe and exemplary measures. No doubt, if indigenous tyranny could have its way, its revengeful doings would be severe enough : but we are not living under the protection of Berlin justice here. Now, then— for the last time—we charge this ruffianly writer to be quiet : if he continue to tear in pieces innocent parties, to raise by their sacrifice a rampart round his cha racterless and guilty patron, let him beware of the disclosures which are yet behind—for we can divulge that, which would blast him like commissioned lightning. As to the illustrious object of these wicked and ineffectual palliation, we have no desire to press against him in un necessary aggravation of his shame —remorse, we were going to say—but that were a supererogatory fancy. He will feel, however—no doubt—with us, that such de fenders had better leave him alone : there is a wide ' difference between facing one's accusers, and—the Shakspearean converse of that exploit—" backing of one's friends." Now, then, we take our leave of that incon siderate morning paper, whose over-zeal in the cause of his moral blackanwor has been equally imprudent and unprincipled. This is the last warning that we shall give either him or his patron : let him, then, be advised, ere he drag into the day-light stains, which " the mul titudinous sea" might not suffice to cleanse. However the retainers of government may attempt to contravene the fact, and hide their dismay, it is undeni able that the Meeting which took place yesterday at the Mansion House, was one of the most important that has occurred for a long series of years. A more able or interesting exposition of the public distresses, than that which was embodied in the speech of Mr. WAD DEN, has not been heard either within or without the walls of Parliament. The striking circumstance that the speaker was himself a manufacturer, living amidst the appalling miseries which he too well described, added ten fold weight to his heart-harrowing narration. We heard every word which fell from this gentleman, and we should feel it a dereliction equally from candour and public duty, if we failed to express here our unqualified admiration of his in trepid and manly pleadings for the people. In addition to natural eloquence of a high order, .Mr. WADDEN proved himself to be thoroughly acquainted with .his subject. A few such men in the Howe of Commons would be invaluable to the country. But great as the services rendered by Mr. WADDEN are, they are even transcended by the Resolutions moved by Mr. HUNT. The subject matter of these was closer to the core of our grievances— in a few words—than any Resolutions ever' yet adopted at a public meeting ; and correspondent with their deep 'importance was the enthusiastic feeling with which they were received and carried. We never saw so much enthusiasm and unanimity together : the occlamations—U each Resolution was 'proposed— were deafening and long continued. When we state that there could not be less than TWELVE UUNDRILD persons in the Hall, and that the whole Moed/ appeared to be composed of the mercantile and middle classes. it is not too wench to say that the sense of the trading population of **great metropolis was fairly represented and expressed on this occasion. As to the original resolutions, they were— like most others which have emanated from city patriotism —totally inadequate to the great objects in view, and unexpressive of the feelings of the citizens, Had it not, therefore, been for the addenda of Mr. HUNT, the Meeting would have done mischief rather than good : as, indeed, every Meeting must, where the resolutions re corded do not strike at the root of all our evils, and— instead of asking for inquiry into the causes of them—, boldly demand the restitution of our violated, but unalien able, rights. To Mr. HUNT, we repeat, the best thanks of the country are due. The triumph of yesterday must have been most gratifying to that staunch friend of the people, who—with his brother Reformers—may at length indulge the hope that their long end ceaseless exertions are now happily conducing to good. A report of this most interesting Meeting will be found in another page, and it is worthy of the deepest attention of our readers. The speech of the Marquis of BLANDFORD last night on the first estimate, moved by Sir HENRY HARDINGE, does him immortal honour. The un equivocal and decisive tone with which he sepa rated himself from that faction, with which most unjustly the suspicions of many parties in that House—interested always in suspecting purity which they despair to rival—had succeeded in a manner to connect him, was worthy of his manly character. All the rest that he said shows the People that he is their firm, unflinching friend, and must have shown the Parlilment that he will never compromise with its corruptions. The Noble MARQUIS is yet but a young asserter of his Country's cause, and he is already far a-head in the race of regeneration. .L V K O'CLOCK. IS MORNING. •. D.

We have no ship letters, but a mail has ar rived from Holland bringing the Dutch funds rather higher, but Spanish bonds are lower there ; Metalliques are higher. The French mail which has come to hand has already been anticipated. Report says that the Chambets will not last longer than about three months, and the French budget will soon after the opening be brought forward and hurried through both houses; also that great opposition is expected against the present Ministry. Consols which left off yesterday at 92j to 1 $ for the account, opened at the same price, but the market continues heavy, and Consols may be quoted at present at 92 to j, and for next time 92e j, with little or no life in the market; it is supposed to be a bull account. Little doing in the Foreign Market; Greek has im proved to 411. The following are the foreign arrivals at the port of New York during the year 1829 :-1310 vessels, of which 365 were ships, 20 barques, 591 brigs, 320 schooners, and 8 sloops, of which were 1,194 Americans, 59 British, 4 French, 4 Dutch, 2 Hamburgh, 10 Sweedish, 5 Spanish, 12 Bremen, 9 Danish, 10 Hayden ; and the number of passengers brought by those vessels was 16,064. The arrivals in 1828, were I,277—passengers, 19,023. Increase of arrivals in 1829, 83. Decrease of passengers in 1829, 2,959. The Funds still have a heavy appearance, and Consols were done In the early part of the day at 92 for the Account, and 91f for Money, but at present may be quoted 92 to I, and for newt time 1 tle I. The state of the market must be attributed to the near approach of the Account day, and not to political informadon. The Bears are on the alert, and will bring all their force into the field on newt Thursday to give the Bulls a warm reception. In the Foreign Market Greek reached 43, since which it is 41f. The Speaker's first Parliamentary Levee for the pre sent Session will be on Saturday next, the 27th February instant. The Russian and French Ambassadors had a long conference, yesterday afternoon, with the Earl of Aberdeen, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

Lady Harrowby and several other ladies were in the roof of the House of Commons last night to hear the debate. Mr. Arnold has sent a letter to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, requesting to know if they are dis posed to purchase the ground opposite to Waterloo-bridge, on a part of which the old theatre stood, with a view to improvement in that quarter. The proposed arrange ment is one so calculated to benefit the public, that of course the Commissioners will not hesitate to agree to it, especially as they some time ago were in actual treaty with Mr. Arnold for the same ground. The marriage between Lord Edward Thynne, of the 7th Pusileers and Miss Mellish, will take place within a month. The bride has, at present, but the sum of 3,0001. a year ; she is, however, in the immediate entail of 12,0001. DRAWL OF ADMIRAL SIRE.
