(Cheers.) He begged leave to propose tor the adoption or the meeting the second reso :.:tion:—. That t:tough greatly di/appointed by so untoward a re. .1: e, they still f,cl unabated confidence in his Majesty's Mir:stas, and rely implicitly on their seal, and firmness of purpose, far speedily realising their pledges, and securing to the perple thz Lrtat measure of Reform, unimpaired by ,ny abandonment of its principles or leading provisions." Mr. Tool: z Lad great pleasure iu seconding !tat resolution. The disappointment now abroad :oughout the country was great, as every one ;;Lew, but circumstances were such, that that die ..prointment was not likely to end in despair. The ration still felt confidence in the patriotic dis cositiou of our Sovereign and of his enlightened, tktermined, unaitiching, and zealous Admi- Lit4tration.—(Lond cheers.) GEORGE GROTE, Esq. moved the third resolu tien, which was to the following effect : That this !fleeting confidently hope that his Maj:sty slit employ every requisite means which the Constitution adiiiits for the accomplishment of this important object, in. dispensable both to the permanent good goremment, and to :he present tranqr illity of the kingdom;" which was seconded oy GEORGE NORMAN , Esq. .red carried unanimously. The meeting then broke up, with three times three cheers for the King. YORK COUNTY MEETING--A meeting of the county of TorL took place on Monday, in the Castle Yard, pursuant to requisition. At twelve o'clock, an immense number of people crowded towards the Castle Yard, with banners and music. The following arc some of the devices on the banners : A Patriot King appeals to his People. Royal Army—Qom save the King. Reform anti Retrenchment. Brougham and Reform. England expects every Iran to do his duty. Reform. The King and the Constitution. Lontlive our patriot King Il'illiam IV. r win, persevere, and conquer. The Cause of Liberty and Independence. Brougham ' the Friend of the People. lion save the King, cc:‘ Reform victorious. Freeholders united for deform. - - - - Itecholders who vote unanimous for tie Bill, the King, and Conski.ution. The greatest harmony prevailed Lt the meeting, and but the feeling seemed to pervade all classes. Lord MILTON came forward and proposed that Sir Francis Lindley Wood do take the chair. (Gress cheering.) The CHAIN/lAN then presented himself , amidst loud Cam, and said, let your motto be tenverance, prudence, junky, and fortitude, and you will maintain tha. high cturacter which you, as Yo.rleshironen, enjoy, and settd yan petition Frith tenfold force to the two branches of the Legislature awl the foot of the Titrore.

LOId MILTON said, it is with great cordiality that I have made up my mind in favour of the address which has been moved and seconded b/ Mr. Fawkes and Mr. Herbert; Lut, Utitough it was necessary on this occasion to propose to ap proach the Sovereign ID those terms which his patriotism demands of you, your duty will not be fulfilled if you stop there. You have another duty to perform. It is your duty, nte tie leave to say, that you should agr.in impress upo.i rull branch of the legislature with which you are directly conflicted, the necessity which, in your o:iinioo. exists, of I fein recurring to that great question which has beta unfor. Lately defeate,l in Cite Cher Room of Poliniuest. It sp. htrs to me that the ',louse of Commons will be left without cc, of its argunients for resumiog di? dbcussion of this t•sttion, unless the county York should arproach them or. Itenibject.

If we abstract from the 106 coated sinceathe sc. "Amon of George the Third, the 23 who have been created PUBLiC FEELING. by his present Majesty, there remains only 83 created In the reigns of George the Third and Fourth in favour of the Bill, whilst there are one hundred and forty-one who voted against it. There is a satisfactory history of the late division of the House of Lords ; but I am con vinced that those recently treated Peers cannot with stand the voice of the people of England—if it is ex. pressed seriously, soberly, and w i t h perseverenee.— Continued cheers.) We must have no compromisers. he reform proposed by his Majesty's Ministers was indeed large. I believe the people of England, when it was pro posed, felt that it was large, but I think It was not larger than the ease demanded, and I trust there is not a man in the Castle-yard who will ever be content with less.--(His Lordship concluded amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering.) J. Measaa Le, jun. Esq. of Leeds, moved a vote of thanks to the House of Common,,, and to those members of the House of Lords who supported the bill. Sir E. VAVASOUR seconded the resolution. OTTIWELL WOOD, 1 . said, I rejoic e t o We the pro gress that education has ma c amongst you, I rejoice to see that you are now more and more capable co' uelerstanding the bearings of this great national question upon the into. rests and lastitutiotas of the country ; and that consequently one of the greatest arguments of oar opponents is removed. Many individuals, one of them with a wish that there should be no Reform at all, assert that this measure Is inefficient and does not go sufficiently far—but I say that it is an effi. dent Reform, and that it is all that we ought to pray for. I thank Clod that we have now a Kiag determined to sec the people in possession of their rierts. The axe is now laid at the root of the tree of corruption i • and, freeholders of Yorkshire, It is yo ur d ut y to strike the blow, which shall level it to the dust--firmly and fearlessly, but at the same time generously and magnanimously. (Great theering for some time.) • Lord Moarxeu then stood forward, and was received with deafening plaudits. After thanking the meeting, and apologising fur the absence of Sir John J oane.one and Mr. Petre, who had remained to attend their Parliamentary du ties, his lordship proceeded as follows :—With respect to the conduct of the peers, I, as a member of another branch of the legislature, will not permit myself to say here before you, however tempted by the prospect of your sympathy and applause, whatever I should have thought it my d ut y to refrain om saying, in my place in the House or Commons, I therefore suppress much that might suggest itself to my mind, and I turn from all gloomy and stagy retro. spelt of the past, to that which is more properly the pro vince dell deliberative bodies, our prospect of the future. I am happy to think that prospect upan the whole satisfac tory and consoling. Why do I say this ? First, because our :vicious and stou thorned king mindful of the race from which he springs, and worthy of the people over which he rules, l has proved himself upon this occasion, I may state what I know to be true, more worthy than ever of our confidence. ' (Immense applause.) I say so, because the government have manfully determined to redeem their pledger:, and as long, at least, as they remain in office, never to abandon their determination to give the people a full, fair, and efficient re.l presentation. (Loud cheers.) Just consider, who was it who, in the early days of chivalry, spread the lustre of the English name over many a well-fought field of F,ance—a Talbot. Who was it who a Catholic himself, headed the fleets of Protestant Briton against a foreign invader ?—a Howard.l (Cheers.) Who was it who was one of the foremost of the patriots that first began to oppose the stretch of arbitrary prerogative, and the license of illegal exaction in the reigns of Elizabeth and the first Stuart ?—a Wentworth. The ancestor of my noble friend, who so largely inherits the talent and virtues of his race. Who was it that dyed the scaffold with his blood in the cause of English freedom ?—a Russell Who was it who was mainly instrumental in organising the band that drove a bigotted tyrant from the throne of these realms, and placed upon it in its stead a deliverer, a p a t r i ot King, and a William ?—lt was a Cavendish. 'Well then, heads of the Talbot,,, the Howard., the Wentworth', the Russells, and the Cavendishes, I wish I could add the Herber* ; but though we have not the head, we have a most able and distinguished member of the family—where I were ye all in the late division P Where we should most expect to find them, on the side of some worthier body of constituents. I know that I shall grant more than I can be called upon to concede, if I allow that the experience of past years would authorise us to expect such a conviction of one borough in ten years—if I were to say 20 I should be nearer the truth. Taking it at ten, the result would be, that our iu msz e irit would have the satisfacdon of getting rid of we and sixty offensive boroughs in one thousand and six hundred years. J. C. Ramsnitir, IN. another Member for the County, then came forward, and said, be could not boast of having advocated their rimless with the eloquence of his noble friend, and some others whom he might mention; but he could declare that he had, so far as hie vote tended to that object, given it his constant and undeviating snpport. OZORGC STRICKLAND, En. was received with loud cheers.—He said, Gentlemen and brother Reformers, it has recently been asked repeatedly—" What will the Lords do?" —You have seen what the Noble Lords, and, moreover, what the Right and most Reverind Bishops have done.—lt was then asked—" What will the House of Commons do?" and I will detain you a very few minutes in detailing what the real representatives of the people have done, taking up the subject where the noble Lord Morpeth left off; and then I will ask you another important question—" What will the people do?" The noble Lord has told you, with an emphasis and a power which I shall vainly endeavour toimi. rate, but there is much fur congratulation in the past, and that the bill is not (ideated, but only deferred. The symp. toms of last Monday convinced me that the bill will be car ried, and carried, too. without the exercise, or rather the abuse of the King's prerogative, in the creation of a great number of peers. I think there are symptoms today we should not despair even yet of the Lords. I have sometimes visittd their lordships' house, and I am firmly persuaded that the victory, the important, the celebrated eictory of the' 41 Peers and Bishops, has not given even them much more delight than it has their nominees in the Commons. On ti , e last day of the deb-te on the second reading, it was re ported in every urn of London that Lord Wharneliffe was going to bring forward his pl an of Reform ; there was a vast curiosity to bear this plan, and curiosity was on the tiptoe as to what it was to be. On the same day there was a large meeting of the victorious Peers, and so much was his Lordship's plan admired, belanded, and Lespraised, as report states, that he could not even muster one single supporter. Now, I say, this splitting amongst themselves —this disunion—this perfect want of knowing what to do next, is a proof to my mind that ahey are no more pleased withthe victory they have obtained, than are their hapless coadjutors in the Commons. He would never shrink from the avowal of his sentiments, and the difficulty of rooting out the corruptions from the Lower House of Parliament, and of eradicating the undue influence of the Peerage, and of wealthy Commoners, in elections, made him an advocate for the ballot. E. S. CATLET, Esq then moved an address to Earl Grey and his Majesty's Ministers in an eloquent speech. After some further short speeches, thanks were voted to Mr. Fawkes and the Chairman. Liwznpoot..—On Wednesday last, a meeting of the in habitants of Liverpool was held in Clayton-square, for the purpose of agreeing to an address to the King in the present emergency. At 12 o'clock, the time appointed for holding the meeting, there could be on lees than 5,000 persons pre sent, a number which, In a abort time, was augmented to 7,000. Lord klolyneus, eldest son of Earl Sefton, was called to the chair. _ _ The noble CHAIIIIKAN addressed the meeting in a very animated speech. He said, that notwithstanding the flatter ing manner in which he had been called upon, it was with the greatest grief that he met them again on that unfortunate subject. They had met to consider what weapons they could resort to in order to oppose that faction which had defeated the restoration of their proper rights. They might resort to violence or to rebellion, and they had the means in their power to annihilate that faction by a single blow, but theyall knew that-such means were always injurious to those who employed them. The noble lord characterised the Duke of Weillrzton's address, on Tuesday, as the meanest speech, the most egotistical speech, and the poorest fpology for a speech, that ever was uttered, founded upon fallacy conti nued in fallacy, and concluded by a sneaking insinu ation. Mr. RIIIIXTON moved the int resolution. He strongly reprobated the conduct of the Bishops who had influenced the fatal termination of the reform debate. They had been the main support of that system which had 4Mdad the na tion into the plunderers and the plundered. may had dig. graced the sacred profession to which they beloaged, and , acted in a manor the most inimical to the prompts of the crest master whose apostles they ought to be considered.— Only two noble prelates had shown a proper estimation their holy calling, and whatever might be thought of this conduct, he gave them his consent to do what lber bol tdi d with the Bishops, but let them show that k was their power to exasperate the people to a desseds• of their Own duty. Mr. T. Thonratrat moved the second resolution, do PUBLIC FEELING. lipirit of which he supported in a short speech.—Mr. J. I.l2Awczta seconded the motion. Captain COLQUITT, R.N. said, that after the treatment of the humid): and mpectfal petition of 18,000 persons. whose request had heel scoffed at and contemned by the House of Lords, they had met to peti . ion the Khi 1 himself to j rant then' that punka which had been 4enied by the Lords. The adversaries of reform bad at lan come round to the cwt.'s salon that sore reform wal necessary; hut they did not wait soma reform— they :anted the Lilt, the whole hill. a.ad but ilia bier—(ltheers) • and for this reason — because it would give tioe'n "t he coat:lilts:ion, 311 soh. le clandittalion. and .v.thi.!g hid .'a coastii.td:lll." (Loud cheers.) He affino:d that the conduct of the Duke of Willington bad been the cat's' of his becoming a reformer, and appearing that day before theot : lie declared himself strongly eAech:d to the ostablishel church, but censured h, the strongest tern's the eondvet of the Bishops in votiog t Refono. The 'peaks %waved the nest resolution. CrlALCltostrro.t, Esq. brtrister-at-law, seconded the resolution it a speech of some len,;th.

It seemed to be the feeling of the requisitiou. ists as a body that an adjournment would not be politic, though several of t h em held the opinion that the voice of the meeting must be adhered to. At eleven o'clock, the time appointed, the doors were opened, and the Riding. school, which leas capable of holding about 5,000 people, was soon :wady fell, and a very great crowd remained on the outnitte. Several flags and hamlets were displayed.

I heft: I am not a very rash man, but I world latmeh boldly into this exp:timent without any tear of conseque-tces, aryl I believe there is not a man present who would !tot cheer fully embark with me. As to the enemies of th' Bill, who pretend to be Reformers, I know theta. IMI eve, better than you do, and I earnestly caution you alainst them. ' You will have no more of reforrer titan th y are compelled to grant, you ill have no reform at all if they can nvoidit.-.. You will be hurried into a war to turn your attention fr:tm reform. They do not understand you ; they will not be lieve in the improvement you have made ; they think the knelish oi the present day are as the English of the titnes of Queen Anne or George the First. They know no more of the present state of their own country than of the itlte of the Esquimau Indians. Gentlemen, I view the ignotance of the present piste of the country, with the most s.ttions concern, and I believe they will one day or another r. then into conviction with honor and dismay. I will omit no means of rousing them to a sense of their danger ; fur this object I will chrerfully sign the petition proposed by Dr. Kinglike, which I consider to be the wisest and most mo derate of the two. (Reiterated plaudits attended the delivery of this address.) BICKHAM RITCOURT, Esq. commented on the evils to be apprehend front the reform bill, if it had not been re. jetted, &c. (Great tumult prevailed during the delivery of several parts of Mr. RA address.) The Nev. Strostav SHISH said, as my learned friend has read me a lecture, I hope I shall at least be indulged with permission to answer his most prominent He has asked me whether it is a des pot ic act to create n.tv peers ? I answer him plainly it is not—and I ask him in what other way the abuse of the negative entrusted to tne House of Peers can be corrected? If the King abuses his ne gative power, the supplies may be stopped. If the House of Co mmons abuse their negative they may be di,. solved, and in what other way is the misuse of the negative in the House of Lords to be checked? What is a despotism. he says—with a lecturing triumphant air—if this is not des potism ? I will describe to him what a true despotism is it is when boroughmongen, who have usurped the just rights of the people cannot be diminished, nor have their numbers added to, but remain for ever the same usurping assembly—that I all a real despotism. As. to my learned friend's stale argument of our having grown rich and great under that abuses, I shall only remind him that this very argument was used by Sir John Shelley for th e cont i nuance of the game laws. Have we not grown rich and powerful, said that eminent baronet, under the game laws? What rashness and madness to alter the game laws ! I really thought better of he originality of my learned friend than to imagine he would have derived his logic from such an example.—(Loud cheering.) A. Caoss, Esq. spoke in support of the object of the meeting. The resolutions and petitions were then put and carried unanimously. NOTTINGHAN..—Rvorts from Nottingham up to Wed neaday; and It Is with great satisfaction we state, that the town and its neighbourhood were at that time quiet. On Tuesday afternoon 16 persons, who had been apprehended in Wollaton Park (Lord Middleton's seat), were escorted through the town on their way to the county gaol, by a guard of the 15th Hussars. A mob which followed the prisoners attempted a rescue, and violently att ac k e d t h e soldiers with stones. One s hot was fired by a soldier at a mai who had just thrown a stone. The man was wounded, bat not dangerously. The mob were checked by this pro ceeding. and thepriemers cony:led to the gaol. P ose l amai i dons have b:enissued by the Mayor and Magistrates, re. spiting matters of families to keep their servants and ap. prentices within dome, and to unite in putting down all attempts on property and the public peace. POITEMOUTIL, OCT. 12.—Thh day, in consequence of a requision most numerously -nd respectably signed, a mewing .00k place at the New Town Ball in Las town, for thr purpose of taking i •to considusion the propriety of addrasing hie Maje,ty in consequeuee of the rejection of the Reform Bill by :he Hours of Lords, to express the deep coneera commie let! by the event, and at the same Wise the coaidence entertait , ed in site petrithism and in. tegrity of his Majesty's Ministers; rod to beseech his Majesty, in :he extras : of nit rtlal prerogative, to adopt such measures as may he necessary to the said Bill being a,a,u brought before Parliament, and to promote the pass ing of the same into a law; and for the consideration of such other other legal and canetitotioeal means as may be set.isable at the present rhos. The doors of the Hell were thrown open aboet 12 o'clock, and by oue, the appointed time, it was crowded to excses. In tact, a more complete refutation to the fel,* and unjuq calumny, that the people had grown indifferent to the Bill end to the great cause of Reform, could not be urged, :he mceJng being greater than any on former occasion. J. Carter, Eaq. Mayor of the Borough took the Chair. DANIEL. HOWARD, Esq. proposed the first resolution, and in doing so, said they had met at a time when great and genial excit.ment prevailed from end of the country to the other; and upon the firmness and good conduct r f those who took part in the proceedings of this and similar meet. logs, the peace, happiness, ant prosperity of the country de pended. The Rev. Mr. Bin seconJed.the first resolution, and was followed by al gertlemee. whose firm, tem perate, sand eloquent appeals to the loyzlty and patriotism of the meeting, met a respond In er:ry burom. The meeting was unexpectedly rehlretsed by a person from thee owd, who. although a stranger in the town, primed him>elf smst cunr,n•ant wi it the subject of reform, and pointed out, in a speech the most eloqueut and impressive, the 'troy I enefits that must result to the country from the Reform 1111 passing into a law. Th, effect produced by the flow of language, the elegance of diction, the depth of argument and the beauty of metaphor, by this mechanic was electrical. J. H. CAnrsa. Esq. in addrtssing the assembly, mid he had attended the mewing mither for the porpnvc of thinking nur vpeaking. He had amok expetionce long ago that they 'thew huw .o spook and het.: ¶o :hint:. It not he heard this day was worthy of the attention of the proudest audience in England. Ho ahoti!ti.t the Wave of Lards bad made a two-fold egregious error—onc ir. h iitving that the people had tot a olid v.nel peen- onset desire for reform, the othq that tiny will misuse the power the a lame franchise would give earn, nn•i that the consequence., would be anarchy and confuvion. the first was an ettor of fact, and the latter an error of judgm-nt. F. BARING. Esq. suifil be st . crileal. not to teach, but to learn. He had no new pledge to make—no mew a pinions to give. lie hod e,ever listened with so much phasure before at any similar ,enesting. He had head speeches by whith the most eloquent izignt have be;, instructed, and the wisest be made more wive. lie regarded the recent dtteat of the bill bet as a prelude to victory, and vindicated the political character of Lord tarty and his Ministry, and extolled them for their wise said patriotic measures. • Ross.—The freeholders end inhabiiants held a publis meeting on Monday, io constquer.ve of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the Lords ' which was far more numerously and respectably attend e d than even their former reform meetings, and• petition to the King was unanimously re solved on, assuring his Majesty of the unabated loyalty aid attachment of his people, and praying him to continue his present 31inisters, - and hit immediate adoption of suck steps as he in his wisdom might cunsida most conducive to the speedy and effectual triumph of Reform.
