He concluded by moving Resolutions which were the echo of his speech. Mr. Gatanwav seconded the Resolutions. He hoped every man would contribute his aid to procure that redress which the distressed state of the country so imperiously demanded. They were placed in a most awful situation; and although the Livery had been almost the last to express their opinion of the state of the country, he hoped they would not be the least. AgricuL. coral distress had been met by a declaration that trade and comntexte were flourishing. But those who knew better than the Marquis of Loodonderry would tell him that such was not the fact. The advocates of economy had always been unsuccess ful. When Mr. Hume and the friends of the People had at tempted last night to procure retrenchment, they were met by overwhelming majdrities. In a short time half a million was voted away with as much ease as they would eat their dinners. When they knew that the taxes amounted to nearly GO millions, it resulted that every man, woman, and child in England paid in taxes si. a year each. Thus were the People oppressed to an extent hardly to be conceived, and a reformed Parliament only could redress them. p. 1 ~~~ corrAwnes, Poems and Lectures on Poetry, by T. Campbell, Esq.

LATE NORWICH UNION SOCIETY. Sit, AN Advertisement issued by the Secretary of the above Society, professes to draw a comparison between his 05ce and the COUNTY Fleas-Orricc. This shcwing does not appear in the contrasted form, wherein the Public have been wed to make the comparison,viz. On the one hand-Endless del:mimes! -Disputes with everybody I—continual litigations ! —great distress! and on the other, Fair dealing—unintereuptevl harmony—freedom from even a single litigation—unexampled prosperity; but it advances as• facts, things which have no existence; for example, it assert* that the COUNTY makes " no returns to persons who may become claimants for losses," in which there is not one word of truth ! It also sets forth, a large amount of returns made to insurers in the Ntwteich Union for seven years ! but the Society new advertised under that name, has not been in existence Slam blosents It has riot returned a shilling ! ! We learn from proceedings in Chan cery, yet pending between the members, that the Society called the Norwich Unian, which used to make returns, was broken up s'me months since through embarrassments, when, instead of the members bang made acquainted with the deplor.ble state of their affairs, an arrangement was made to keep up appearances, as if nothing had happened, and to turn them over to another cwt. c'rn, by substituting New Policies in place of their usual re newal Receipts. The New Concern is the" Old Norwich Fite (Alec !"

It clears, the dander from Children's heads, and gives their Hair a pecu liar beauty. It makes the Hair, if harsh or dry s soft and glossy as silk, and gives it such strength and elasticity, that it retains the Curl during exercise in the Dance or Promenade, or in damp weather.

Illustrated with Marginal Cuts and Copperplates.—By Anthony Tvdd Thomson, F.L.S. In Ova Vol. I. Mr. Monsoon said, after the able manner in which they had been addressed, there remained but little to be said ; but the ne cessity of Reform :night be 'hewn, by stating that the Gren vines had received above AlOO,OOO of the Public. Up to this time, this money would have produced two millions to the Public. Let them begin, by sending men to Parliament who would attend to Reform in Parliament, and not such as would laugh at Heir instructions, and insult them in the House of Com.- naons. and elsewhere. Mr. J. W. PARKINS bad a Resolution sent to him last night, which, out of a sense of humanity, he should feel it to be his duty to propose to the Meeting. He then alluded to the first motion foe Reform. which he said had taken place in that Hall precisely on that day 5 years de weeks and four days before— (A laugh); at which Alderman Beekford suggested, that Annual Parliaments were best ; in which opinion he (Mr. Parkins) con- I curred with him, on the principle that " short reckonings make long friends." He then recurred to the Resolution to which he I had alluded, which was to present a Petition to the Douse of Commons to remit to Mr. Hunt the rem:bider of his sentence. Mr. Alderman Warrnmax said, the right of petitioning was rendered of little value, since he never recollected any good re. suiting from any Petition. Many causes of distress had been sought for; but they must all know that accumulated taxes had reduced the prices of all commodities. The natural effect of taxes was at first to raise the price of things ; but now it was impossible for the People to lay the taxes on their commodities. The Fundholder had swept away all the property, of which there. was plenty in the country, but in too few hands. A Minister had said in Parliament, that their starvation arose from an czcess of production. Thus they were told, there was a great deal too much food, and yet the People were starving because there was too much prevision in the country. The laws of nature were counteracted by taxation ; for the whole property of the country had got into a few bands. It was asked whether Reform would give the People food, and redress all evils? Nobody said it would; but if they had not had corrupt Parliaments, it would have been impossible for Ministers to have brought such distress on the country. To obtain a barrier for their rights and property, they asked, but in vain, for a more equal Representation of the People. Nothing could be a greater insult, than that only one of their Representatives was present on an imeortant motion for a Reform in Parliament. This was an accourt which they must settle with their Representatives. He would venture to say, that the distress of trade exceeded that of the agriculturists. It was impossible for them to meet the taxes, when their property was reduced 50 or 40 per cent. Nothing would relieve them but reduction of taxation and of useless places, rigid economy, and a Reform in Parliament. They had been told that the People were getting too enlightened; but surely that was increase of strength, and the more they would perceive the beauties of the Constitution. But Government must have a standing army. and corrupt influence, to counteract the increased information of the People. The *solutions, and a Petition founded on them, were car ted unanimously. Mr. Favaxx moved, that their Representatives be instructed support the Petition. and to forward Retrenchment. Economy, Reform. ___ Mr. Alderman Woon felt it to be a great honour to be in trusted with the presentation of their Petition, with the senti ments of which he perfectly concurred. He should take care to give his colleagues due notice of the time when he should pre sent it to the House, that they might have an opportunity of supporting it or not, as they should think proper. He thought k impossible for them, when they considered the state of the asnutry, which was now perfectly well known to them, to avoid vain with him for a reduction of the public expenditure. Mr. Ham: referred to the manner in N hitt the Knightsbridge affair was treated in the House of Common., and compared the conduct of Sir William Curtis with that of Alderman Wood on that occasion. He also alluded to the conduct of the Common Council, and concluded au animated speech by proposing a vote of thanks to the Common Council, and a vote of censure upon Sir William Curtis; which were carried with but one hand held up against them. Mr. Favax then pronounced an eulogium on Mr. Hume, to whorls he proposed a vote of thanks; as also to those Members who so ably and eloquently supported hint in his efforts to pro cure economy and retrenchment. Mr. GALLOWAY seconded the motion, which was earritd unanimously. , Mr. Favar.t. next adverted to the treatment of Mr. Hunt, which, whatever his political principles might be, he said that all men twist condemn, on the score of humanity; and, there fore, he proposed a Resolution, expressing the sense of the Meet ing, to that effect. It differed from that of Mr. Parkins in_ only one respect--namely, in not stating that t which, as 'it had been pronounced by t' they might not be warranted in doli,g. Mr. PARKINS defended the terms of justified by the legality of the Meeting Hunt had attended. Mr. GALLOWAY seconded Mr. Favell'i carried rasa. eon. Thanks were then voted to the Loan His iaudship expressed his sense of I Meeting was dissolved its the usual tortu.
