li` F JOURNALS and see not." bulk of them, n•e they live and eat state of universal movement. All the counties are up, and all the cities, and the metropolis leads them, and the House of Commons has by an immense majority, concurred with the people, in opposition to the Lords. Yet are we forced to listen to the match-1 loss impertinence of some persons, who either deny that there is any animation discoverable throughout thn community at this moment ; or that, if there be any, it is excited by the public press! If facts be good for any thing, the country from north to south is under one paroxysm of astonishment or in dignation at the defeat of the bill. So imperfectly were the inhabitants of distant counties acquahred ith the " good working" of the present • cons'itu tion, that they were ignorant enough to believe it altogether impossible for the Lords to reject the nation's prayer. They were undeceived by Satur day morning's event, and have since required all the moral restraint that could be imposed upon them by their moat discreet and virtuous advisers, to prevent them from breaking into acts demon strative of that resentment, which the contempt manifested for the feelings of the whole United Kingdom had produced among nineteen twentieths of its active and intelligent population. If the people be not powerfully moved, how comes it that the House of Commons, we mean that might: - portion of it which really represents the people, has been prevailed upon to pass that unu sual (though we acknowledge most salutary) vote, which restores the ministers to more than their original influence, and consigns to despair an op position which had Englishmen not felt deeply upon this question, would ere now have been re invested with the cing enjoyed, and, in the judg ment of the majority of the people—the long abused —powers of the Treasury Bench. Is it the Press that has done this ? Some persons pretend that the People have been excited by the press, and not by the defeat of the Reform Bill. Then what has been the instrument through welch the press has wrought out the excitement ? what its topic ? what the alarum bell of which it has so effectually availed itself? Why, nothing but re form ! It has appealed to the people, by their eagerness for reform in parliament, to support the reforming ministry—to declare their patriotic sem timer ta, but to respect the laws. Now. suppose the press had adjured the nation, by its esteem for Toryism, and its affec ion for close hes nighs, to come forward with petitions against the Reform Bill, or denunciations against Lord Grey's Ministry, and pledges of supp rt to L rd Mansfield, or Lord Ellenborough, what would have ha; pened ? Who would have been moved, except by contemptuous laughter? If the press had been writing up Lord Elernborough for twenty years, does any man but the noble baton himself conceive that it could have written him into the public love or confidence ? or that any effects would have fol. 1 .wed, except an abs to distaste for the rut of printing itself, on account of the tees to which it had been made subservient ? If reform be made an engine for excitation by the press, it must have already a hold upon the affections of the people. There is no escape from such a truth as this. To act upon men's minds, there must be a pre-existing lever. The press cannot stand upon nothing. See %hat has really hap pened upon this very subject of reform. Another press than the liberal press hes all along been toil ing and bubbling, and appealing, and conjuring, and denouncing, and exhorting. Its activity has been incessant,—its mal•ce exemplary,—its argu ment, though absurd, most laborious,—tts wit weighty. Never was tl:e cause of regular Toryism smell with more zeal, or more characteristic means, than by certain journals (we shall not trouble ourselves to point them e ut,) whose names, if forgotten elsewhere, must of course be known at the Stamp-office. And what success have these champiot•s met with in tLe service of bad government? Have they produced no yopular excitement? None. Are they obeyed— or listened to—or looked at —cr heard of ? No. They are destitute of that article of first necessity —readers; except, perhaps, such readers of their trash us may first have been tl e writers of it. T: e truth i-, dist for the newspai era to have had any influence whatever in animating the people upon the reform question, that question must already have attached to itself from different source:— namely, the common sense and natural fe• lingo of society—an extensive and powerful charm. The Lords generally, we are sure, do not r nter tarn the opinions on which we have cemmerted, but are already awake to the ci - nsequences of their ()en deplorable error. They untie valued the resentment of the people. They ought first to have rechained them. As in the cese of the Irish Ca tholics, who by the acqueition of a limited amount of freedom had been taught the value of more, and had been vainly resisted in their constitu . ional efforts to obtain it ; so in the case of the British nai ion itself, the rapidly and wide-spread intelii gence of the last 50 years has exhibited, in full glare, the vices of a selfish, prodigal, corrupt, .nd wasting system of domestic and colonial policy,— eas proved to the peoyle that they never can reckon safely on an uptis.,ht admit istration of public 1 1 affairs, until they shall have secured to them-! selves a real, instead cf only a nominal, centreul! over the choice of those who manage them, and has, at last, created an unconquerable desire for reform throughout the where actin n of tl.e govern ment, such as no set of ministers can ever hence. forth opp se with success, ey shall first have replunged the whole British ration into that darkness and brute indifference to ventral cusses, which had fav Lredtl estealthy march of encroach ment upon their common liberties. The die is now cast : the t eople of England will have the bill wbich their King and ministers have proposed to them, and nothing less. HERALD. —The peace.ab:e conduct of the peo ple, notwithstanding the stueed efforts made to betray them into vio'ence, is only what we should have expected from their habitual got d sense, good feeling, and reflection. Indeed, those Journalists and demagogues who were mi at v,ltement in their threats of revolution made It appear, upon their own shoeing. tied revolution was imposible.— They stated that the whole people were of the one way of thinking; and that supported as they were by the King and the existing Administration, they were only prevented from having that par liamentary reform which they desired by a few nt.blemen. How, dim, could there be a re volution ? The word revolution, in its political sense, means a change of dynasty, or of the whole subsisting frame of government, effected by force, Bat here the King and the people- r the executive !government and the popular force—went together. There was, therefore, no possibility of revolution, because there was not' , ing to rev lutionise. But though the people have been orderly and peace able, there have been some instances of rabble violence. The outrages at Derby and at Notting ham, and the person al attacks in London upon some of the Noble opponents of the Reform Bill, have not been the work of the people. They are the worst enemies of reform who indulge in such excesses—for they disgrace a just and rational cause by the most wanton, and criminal, and tyrannical application of brute force. Such disturbers of the peace must either be the dupes of treacherous instigators, who hope that ref ,, rm will be impeded by outrage, or ruffian• of desperate habits, who care nothing about the political question, but think the crisis favourable for the more congenial operations of pd.' lage and devastation. The breaking open the gaol and letting out the criminals, and breaking indis • criininately the windows of the respectable inhabi tants, whether reformers or anti-reformers, prove what a mere rabi•le it was that commenced the dis turbances at Derby,which the military have quench. ed in blood. The burning of Nottingham Castle, too, was a brutal and barbarous act, only worthy of the followers of a Tyler or a Cade. Reform has nothing in common with incendiaries and - men of blood. It repudiates them and their acts. Its great object is improvement —their's destruction. We regret to see any portion of the London Press lending itself at this moment to the instigation of the worst passions of the rabble, by publications denoting the members of the majority in the House of Lords as objects of popular vengeance. We do not suppose the papers that publish those things have any intention of pointing out certain noble men as objects of personal violence; but such is their natural, if not inevitable tendency. Even the Book of peace—the Book of our religion, has been ransacked for the purpose of profanely apply ing passages in the sacred writings to purposes of malignant m'schief. In an evening paper of last evening appeared the common version of the 58th Psalm, applied to Lord Mansfield, and other anti reform lords. One verse, we need hardly tell our readers, runs as follows :-- The righteous shall rejoice to see Their crimes such vengeance meet, And Saints in persecutors blood Shall dip their harmless feet. Is it right or decorous in a respectable Paper to profane even a bad translation of any part of the inspired writings by such an application ? Can fanatical violence serve any just cause ? or does reform stand in need of the practical zeal and pious works of a political St. Bartholomew. Pos r.—ln the House of Commons, last night, Lord John Russell was very properly called to severe account by Sir R. Vyvyan and other hon. Members for certain unwarrantable expressions used by him in a letter to the Chairman of the Birmingham Political Union, at whose last sedi tious if not treasonable meeting thanks worn voted to his Lordship and Lord Althorp. It will be seen, that Lord J. Russell, in his epistle, had the teme rity to talk of faction in allusion to the recent noble, just, and gloris us conduct of the House of Lords, I y which they have secured to themselves the eter nal gratitude of every true ft iend of the Consti tution ; a bile be displayed a want of candour, and of truth, of which with all his faults ee had before considered him incapable, in talking about the united voice of the people of Britain. Upon this latter point his lordship must excuse us if we assert that he well knows the fact to be the re verse of his statement. So far front the sense of tl e people being unanimous in favour of the Revo lutionary Bill, he must, if he have taken the trou ble to consider the subject at all, have satisfied himself that there not only exists a wide difference of opinion in every district of the kingdom re specting it, but that in very many the majority are adverse to the Ministerial measure; and that in all, the tt uly loyal and the better classes of the peo ple are decidedly hostile to it. With what justice of propriety, therefore, can Lord John Russell presume to talk of the sense of an united people. Los k to the election now proceeding in Dorset shite—look to the late elections for Weymouth, Grimsby, Monmout'•shire, Forfarshire, in all of which the Bill Candidates have been signally defeated. Look again to the elections, even slur ng the Reform mania, for the three Universities; for the counties of Buckingham and Salop, Hunt ingdon, Noranoupton, and Cambridge ; the Anti- Bill petitions from London, Leicester, Belfast, &c. the declarat'ons front Staffordshire, Berksh re, Bris'ol, and other places. What then becomes of the disgusting cant about unanimity repeated so audaciously from day to day by the revolutionary journals, and now echeed by a member of the Go vernment ? Is this the • unanimity' of Lord John Russell ? I low shculd we rightly designate the man who, in his situation, can make such an assertion ? With regard to his outrageous libel upon the house of lcrds, in terming factious the due exercise of their rights and duties, se cannot do better than make his lot dship answer himself, which in better days he did with powerful effect. • • - ,- RESOLUTIONS Passed at a Public Meeting, coesibting of upwards of two thousand Hout.ehokiers of the Parish of St Luke, Mid dlesex, held iti the yard at the Wor►house, en the 10th of °ciao., 1121. 1. That this meeting► views with feelings ef un mingled disappointment and regret the rejection by the House of Lords of the Rill passed by the !louse of Commons for the amendment of the re presentation of the people in England and Wales, front a firm con% ictiLn that the provisions contained thertin were eminently calculated to promote and secure at or ce the stability of the Throne, and the rights And liberties of Englishmen. 2. That this meeting records with the liveliest gratitude their admiration of the noble and pa triotic conduct of their most gracious Sovereign during the p•ogress of this all-important measu e, and would venture to express an opinion that the present is an occasion on which the exercise of the Royal Prerogative on the part of the SovertLn, is imperatively called for to prevent the final dis wpointmeot of the just expectations and the fondest hopes of hi, people. 3. 'That the perseverance, ability, and integrity displayed by his Majesty's Ministers, in their efforts for the accomplishment of the great object of Reform, have entitled them to the lasting gra titnde of the people; and that they be requested not to resign their offices until they have used every Constitutional means which may yet remain to complete the glorious work they have so nobly begun. 4. That it is the decided and unqualified opinion of this meeting, that the resignation or dismissal of his Majesty's present Ministers would inevitably and almtkt immediately inrolro the country in all the horrors of a sanguinary revolution. 5. That in order to watch the progress of this important question, and to provide a point of com munication thereon, a Committee be now appoint ed consisting of those vestrymen who signed the requisition for this Meeting, with power to add to their numbers, and that they be authorized to com municate with any other parishes on the subject, and to adopt any other measures they may deem necessary fur the promotion of this great object.— I . court, • •• • • • 4110 S T — , 'ft • Air they, These • • 1 1 0?teo.

We ask, Will you he the slaves of any hundred and ninety-nine men in the world, whe ther Dukes, Earls, Lords, or Commoners ? Will you AGAIN endure the blighting and pestiferous decrees of a boroughmongering, Tory faction, which has weighed down the people with debt, taxes, and persecutions ? The cheering reply, No, will at once be echoed from the remotest corners of the empire. What then is to be done to obtain a victory over de haters of liberty—the despoilers of freedom ? We must be calm and firm, steadily pursuing one object, and that object is comprised in rendering the most unflinching and determined support of our patriotic and noble-minded King, and his Majes ty's honest and courageous ministry. Lord Grey declared, with much earnestness in the coarse of his reply, that " he would continue to serve hie King as long as his Majesty should be pleased to require him." The noble Premier, therefore, pledged as he is to carry the bill which has just been rejected, is entitled to the warmest support of every lover of liberty and good order; for should the Ling, in this hour of difficulty and danger,call into his counsels the borouglimongering Tories—the Wellington, Eldon, Lyndhurst, Peel, and Goul burn tribe—the announcement of such a fact to the people would have more terrors for their ears than the convul-ive, subterraneous, thunder of an earthquake. The bare appeArance of such names in the catalogue of a new ministry wound sear their very eyeballs, and drive the nation to lury and despair. The appointment of a Tory Mini ni•tration would be a signal for the most dreadful convukiou that ever agitated a civilized country ; for every passion would be let loose to prey upon the innocent as well as upon the guilty, and the appetite for revenge %sould not bo appeased except by a sanguinary immolation upon the altar of jus tice. Friends and Countrymen, ifyou place the least re liance upon our judgment,i rye u consider thatwe are lovers of truth—it you believe that we value liberty as d• ally as we regard our life's blood, we im• plore you, in the name of justice, humanity, and freedom, to be calm, to be patient, to be firm.— Raise not a hand, ray, raise not even the finger of scorn against your senseless persecutors, for while the King is on your side, while your cause is advocated by the present ministers, and while you yourselves continue determined to be free, —what is the vote of a hundred and ninety-nine Lords ? Whatever, then, may be the course which you may think proper to pursue within a very few weeks, take this course now ; stand up for the King and the Ministers, and do not place the Go vernment in difficulties, by withholding the pay ment of taxes; for, remember, it was with your money, that the Boroughmougers pressed you to the Earth, and rendered you the victims of dungeons and of bayonets ; and now, your money also must enable a reforming govern ment to crush your past and present persecutors. If you withhold taxes, you ins . an,ly destroy your friends now in power. It is the duty, rather, of 'the monied men to come forward with generous loans to their aid—it is the duty rather of the friends of liberty to throw their mites into the Trea sury, 'is order that they may be adding sinew and nerve t ) the energies of the present administration. If the hundred and nincty-nine bolds have thought it right to give a vote which may have the effect of confiscating their estates—which may prove the breaking-up of seven-eighths of the country banks, which may occalon a horrid panic in London, and prove entirely de.tructive :o public credit—take you no such unjust course, but reflect upon what may be the situation of the widow and the father less if all confidence between man aid man be en tirely destroye I—if the work of civil war be once commenced, and if there exist in every man's will an uncontrolled law for the perpetration of every bad action. If there live any knave so aban doned as to urge you on to violent actions, spurn the wretch as you would a fi en d, and, above all, hold no communication with those false and de signing individuals who have denounced the Bill as a measure not calculated for the production of national benefit. Meet, quietly and patiently meet, in counties, cities, towns, villages, ham lets,—assemble in t! e open air, —congregate in the smal:est rooms,—and p e titi on the KING, 1111• Flossing his most gracious Majesty to retain Earl Grey, Lord Brougham, and their colleagues, in their °Co, and further beseech the King to exercise his constitutional prerogative, and create such a number of New Peers a s w ill at once se cure a majority for the Bill, and thus afford hap piness and tranquillity to the millions of this great Empire.— Ballot.

At a Meting of the Magistrates acting In and for the Divi -6011 of Fawley, in the County of Southampton, at their Petty Sessions, held at the Grand Jury Chamber, Win chester, the 31st day of August. 1822. Presents—The Rev. Edmund Poulter, Chairman. The Hon. and Rev. Augustus George Legge Sir Thomas Baring, Barr. The Rem. William Hill Newbolt, D.D. W. Neville, Esq. The Rev. F. W. Swanton ; and The Rev. Robert Wright ; being eight of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, and a large and respectable number of the Yeomanry residing within the Division, who were requested by the 3logistrates to attend on the occasion. The Magistrates having taken into their cessideratket the allowances usually made by this Bench to Paupers apply. ing for relief, and the diminished price of every article of Life: Resolved unanimously—That In future the Blagistrates acting at this Brink in making their order, either collee. lively or individually, for the maintenance and relief of such paupers, will not exceed the following allowances • When the family shall consist of a man and his wife, with one or two children, or a man with two or three children, or a wcman with two or three children, to each of them the price of a gallon loaf of the best whea ten bread, and 4d. each over per week. When 'be Family shall consist of a man and his wife. with three or four children, or a man with four or five chll. dren, or a woman with four or five children, to each of them the price of a gallon loaf of the best wheaten bread. and 3d. each per week over. When the limey shall consist of a man and his wife, with five or more children, or a man with six or more chit. dren, or a woman with six or more children, to each of them the price of a gallon loaf of the best wheaten bread, and 2d. each over per week. And whereas a practice has been prevalent among the labouring doses to absent themselves during a part of the year, when their services are most required, and to return after the hat vest, and become a burthea to their respective parishes, the justices recommend to the officers of every pa. Irish, when the family shall consist of a man and his wife, or a man with we child, to offer to each such man 4s. a week from Michaelmas to Lady-day, modat a week from Lad -day to Alichaelmas, so that Alickaela , be might be engaged to serve the whole year ; and any man refusing that offer shall not be entitled to any relief. If no such offer be made, or no sufficient employment can be found, whereby any such man can maintain himself and his wife or child, the allowance is to be 31. 6d. per week, and no more. To every unmarried man the justices recommend the officers of every , pariah to offer 3s. per week, from Michael. mas-day to Lady-day, and 41. per week, from Lady.day to Michaelmas-day. so that he may be engaged to serve the whole year ; and any unmarried man refu.ing that offer, shall not be entitled to any relief. If no such offer be made. or no sufficient employment can be found, whereby any such unmarred man can maintain himself, he shall be paid 2s. 6d. per week, and no more. To a woman with one child, 3s 64 per week and no more. To every single woman 2..6d. per week and no more. And the justices do declare, that all paupers, maintained and relieved by their parishes and able to work, shall, for the allowances so to be made to them, he compelled to per. form such proper work as the parish officers shall direct or require of them ; and it is earnestly recommended to the pa rish officers to provide, as far as possible, employment for all such paupers, and If they neglect or refuse to perform the work found for them, they will be punished as the law directs. BISHOPIOATE WARD.— Tuesday, a most numerous and respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants of Bishopsgate Ward took place. Alderman Calmest) In the Chair.— Mr. Peacock, in moving the Resolutions, gave a very ani mated description of the present melancholy condition of the Lords, and particularly of the Illshr He, however, thought it necessary to exclude one Right ley. Prelate from the list ofthose who ought to feel unhappy. Iferneant the Lord Bishop of London. That Right Rev. Prelate, with whom the parish of 13ishopsgate had had a long acquaintanee,had voted neither for nor against the reform bill,no doubt on account of conscientious scruples. Mr. Stevens said, he looked upon the conduct of the Bishop of London in a different light. The Right Rev. Prelate bad hesitated for a long time, and no doubt had been waking for a convenient opportunity of trimming in the most advantageous manner for himself (cheers). He really thought that the Lord Bishop of Loodcn might as well have gone in and voted with the rest of his brethren (hear, hear!). His Lordship was understood to have had a proxy in his pocket in favour of the Bill at the time he absented himself from the House, so that the merit of not having voted against the Bill, could not be very great, the counterpobe being in Ms own possession (hear, bear !). Mr. White, who came into the room at a late period ob jected to what be called an attack on the establirbed church. The Bishop of London was a prelate of most unimpeaeh. able character, and the circumrances between the Bishop and the parish were of such a nature as ought to have ope rated to prevent any insinuation to the prejudice of the learned prelate. The resolutions were carried unanimously, and amidst the loudest acclamations, and a deputation of 24 members of the ward was appointed to wait upon Lord Althorp, to request that he would present the address to the King. CILIPPLIGATi moat numerous meeting of the inhabitants of this Ward took place at the Repository in Barbican. for the purpose of addressing his Majesty upon rejection of the Bill by the Lards ; Alderman Wood in the chair. Alderman Wood, in addressing the Meeting, declared that be bad that morning ascertained frcm the highest authority, that his Majesty had first expressed himself to his Ministers in terms which left not the slightest doubt upon their minds that it was wholly im possible to alter his Majesty's determination with respect to the Reform Bill. (The most tremendous cheering fol. lowed this announcement.) The King had given his most de cided approbation of the conduct of his Ministers all throrgh the long.eontinued proceedings, and it would be ridiculous for the people to despond. (Cheers.) The day was at hand when the full measure of rights and privileges would be dealt out to the community. (Here there were loud cries against the Bishops—" We can do without the right reverend hum bugs." " We'll pay no tithes.") AIL Wood put it to the good sense of those around him to act legally, to commit no outrage of any kind, to excite no violent feelings of anykind. —Mr. Newe ll addressed the meeting. He looked upon the Bishops as being at the very head of the delinquents who opposed the bill, but the peop e would be even with their Lordships, whose embassy. although said to be from Heaven, bore about it all the qualities of the other place— (Laughter and cheers.) The Reform measure was called are volution. He would give the Bishops all the force of their arguments. It was a revolution from oppression and plunder to protection of person and security of property—a revolution which would deprive the aristocracy of utjust power, and of the means of futtber plundering the public. (Cheers.) There wot collected on Monday afternoon, about the two Houses of Parliament, a very considerable crowd, which dis played their feelings towards the reform and the anti reform peers in a very intelligible and significant manner. The Mar. qui' of Cleveland, who so readily expressed his willingness to sacrifice his immense borough property on the altar of his country, was recognised by the people and hailed with the moat enthusiastic plaudits. By a gentle font, he was taken off his hone and carried on the shoulders of the populace into the House of Peers. A Rec. Father in Hod, whe. after ' promising to give his vote in favour of the Reform Bill, ratted at the last moment, and gave. against the bill, not only his own vote, but also a proxy for the bill with which he had been intrusted, was brought down in a eahriokt to the House of Lords. (In getting out of it, Le and the driver Is. 6d. for his fare. The driver looked at it conteteptoonsly, and then returned the cola to the reverend wearer of lawn sleeves. saying, that he'd be d—d if he would bring down d a bishop and an an-reformer for less than 3s . The bishop, &Chad lest a worse thing should befall him, submitted to the charge, paid the fellow his 3s. and took refuge is the House of Lords.— 1 ion. The trowd assembled in Parliamentstreet, and round the entrances to built Houses of Parliament, was on 31onday night grater than we have ever before witnessed. A Ike of spectators on each side of the road extended front hall-gardens to Old Palace-yard, and in the latt.r completely blocked up the admission to both Houses at a tery early hour. Toe arrival of a strong party of the new police, how ever, tendetkin some degree, to tame some regularity, and to protect the anti-reform Peers and Members from treatment, with which they were repestedly threatened by the crowd. The roar of execration with which the Duke of Wel lington, manor the Bishops, and all the and.reformers recog nised, were received, would have drowned a peal of thun. der, and the cheers with which they greeted the friend+ of the measure, were proponionably enthusiastic. The police formed a sort of arena round the entrance to the House of Lords, and were several times obliged to exert great energy In order to clear the way for the carriages which the crowd several times surrounded. Lord Brougham was cheered for several minutes. The Duke of Wellington drove up in hie carriage at a rapid pact, and appeared unmoved at a yell which might have rivalled the cannon at Waterloo ; a piece of an orange was thrown at his carriage. O re of tl e Bishops, who usually enter by a dirt rent door, had his ear. riage surrounded, and with difficulty, and the powerful aid of the police, at kngth succeeded. Sir Robert Peel attempted, by a li g h t i ng i n New Palace -yard, and passing through Westminster Hall, to retch the Haute unobserved. He was, however, quickly recognised, and as quickly sunounded by the crowd, w hi c h showed every disposition to treat the Ri g h t H on . B aronet rather ureertino. Mouldy, as the pollee were mostly eta distance, but a party o f the latter arrived in time to secure hi s retreat into the Hall—. Lord Bllenlwrough drove up rapidly in his cabriolet, and be. lug probably mistaken foe some other peer, was received Ind ia faint cheer. His lordship, apparently astonished at tile neep. don, appeared rather puzzled to know what to think t f it. The appearance of his person, however, having convinced the crowd of their mistake, there immediately followed the most simulta neous butst of laughter we ever remember. His Lordship appeared perfectly to understand this, and reti re d w i th alacritv.—Slany of the and-reformers alighted at the Co. lonnade among the empty earrlagrs, and thus emceed with. out observation. The t xeitetnent of the people resembled, would probably have ended in some popular tumult had it not been for the efficient exertions of the police, of whorl at least 600 were present.—Afornino Adarlivr. —ban THE ARMY.

TO TlErkilDereit OF THE STAR.
