PUBLIC FEELING. SOUTHWARK REFORM MEETING. 11, Yesterday, pursuant to a rums:run:ly i -n:d requisition aea Hip Bailiff, a numerous and respectable meeting 7.samblal at the Town Hall, :Southwark. J. Ewe, Esq. SaS wianimously called to the cheir, and ie opening the ! )13 .i.:Liss of the meeting, passed a hielz oulegy on the Kiea, wed his Ministers, and deprecated the interested decision of the boroughtnongers and the bishoas. The mention of the latter prolueed a groan of immense length. He believed that they were infliteacesl by nothing more than the loaves and ashes. (Lau _"ter.) One eundral and ninety.nkto Peels bed set the nisei •es again- t the interests of 20 reilliruss of people. ri:y !'ad, of te; to ;at :de on whether or net they approved of eat: R.f, rm bill, 'r that had hew decide hats ago; but the el - testicle was, eta; were they to do with tire 199 ?—(Crie of "Ilene. e arl 1") They had met to eaeure his alajeoy of their full willektre in hie Ministers, and to entreat him to exercise eii prero fade' in gettiag the bill passed. (Cheers.) `lr. LONG3IORT then uldrcas , W the meeting. The state :cod wee in e pommy sea, and did not answer to her ham. Hear.)

The 199 sec tied to be without their reason or prudence. It re. trindea him of an innate of a matihoese, who, on berg ,raked why he wes pet there, replied, " I said that the whole :Toad e te mail ; the world said 1 was mad ; they out. numleral 1.1.:, a. d ; , ,r..: I wo !" (Great laughter.) He 3-.101 nut say taat the 199 should Le served as this gentle mar ' I been, but be thoweht that they ought to be, fur :heir own good, s'thjected to a little wholesome restrain:.—' k ilter, hear.) 31r. Locx, in a most eloquent %Tech, spoke at great length on the present state of affairs. He said the borough. mongers had thrown down the gauntlet to the whole people .71 Erglani, a!:.1 it now remained for them to show they were loi to be insulted with itootaity, or defrauded of their r wets. (Cheers.) We had new 199 Kings instead of one. seed were worse off than the Athenians, whose tyrants only invented. to thirty. (Cheers.) Would Englishmen submit et ilea ? (Cries of No, no.) He invoked the spirits of Hampden and Russell to pre vent such an unholy &aera tion. (Cheers.) Had not the Peers been guilty of treason against the State in thus opposing their individual interests against the interests of the people and the Constitu. lien ? Ile woull not allude particularly to the conduct of ate Bishops, because there was a minister of our holy Tell eloa present (Dr. Kenny) who had always been justly re pected. If the Eoglish people sunk into willing slaves it 'could show tIT despot of the North, tied other despots too, :hat they) ad sunk into the vile herd, and that they might in. rade the liberties of the people of Europe without fair.— The Peers would be ciphers without the people's support-- (loud cheering)—and he a ould add that they were now,rathcr ornamental than useful. (Coatinued cheering and laughter.) The speaker then moved the second resolution. Mr. DAVIES was sorry, in speaking of the Bishops, that -he " outward and visible sign" had SO ill accorded with their inward at spiritual grace." ale. ARPCHORP proposed the third resolution, stating that it was essential to the peace and well.being of the eoun. :7v that a Bill similar to the last should be introduced into l'erliament, and that, to effect such a desirable object, his Majesty be prayed to exercise all the powers and prerogatives which the Crown enjoyed. Mr. PEACE observed that the Earl of Bristol had been reported to have said that, rather than this Bill should pass, he would lay his head on the block —(Hear and laughter.)— The people should retaliate. He (Mr. Peake), for one, would say that if this Bill did not pass he would be contented to be hanged—(great cheering.) That was the say in which they should retaliate, and he would be glad to know which would last longest—the heads of the peers, or the necks of 20,000,000 oldie people. Dr. KENW V ably answered whet he termed the fallacies of Lori Lynahurst, wet observed, that Sir F. Burdett and sir J C. Hob' olive weds-oast of their best friends, belonged to the real aristocracy, which, he believed, the people never Irish, dto injure. (Cries of " Never !" never !") Mr. CeeveltT. N. P. beta prepheeted that the bill would \be rejected, beceta . se there were nearly 100 Tory Peers cre ated by Mr. MO! Tice Dukc of Wellington would be very happy now to me s this fill if he could dolt. But he (Mr. C.) was certain that the people would sot let him—(cries of 'no, no, we will never have 'shit egaina) He had opposed Ca tholic Entancipatioe all his life till it was ripe, and he then zapped in with Sir R. reel and passed it, because, he said, it tees en-dint. The Whir, however, alone deserved the trtdit of patsies that measure. (Cheers.) The hon. member then express-id his dissent from two parts of it—namely, the dittsion of counties. end the amount of the nouseltul 'er's franchise. Ile believed every man whose purse contributed to the public expenses, and who was liable to be called on to fight for the country, ought to have t vote. (Loud clieerieg, which last - .d for several - minutes.) He, however, would vote for the sill, although he disliked these dams, because it was beneficial as a whole. With aspect to the prorogation, he aid not think that Parliament would again n.cet fur the despatch of business till January wet. (Cries oft Oh ! oh ! ") Mr. W. Booroweee rove to return thanks. He said that he was so ill. that he was obliged to lean on a desk. He had prophesied that the bill would pass. In calcu. sting the numb, re of selfish men in the House of Lords, he had not calve lard on :he fools—(great laughter),—and se thought it would pass, !moon he thought them wiser. 'eon' Herrowby leit night professed the reform faith— hear, hear),—and that he agreed with the principle of reform. How, tl en, could he justify his vote against ' he principle of the bill on the second reading—(Hear, fear) He ( Mr. limughatr.) was in the house when the bill was diiscused end had to :rd an active and-refomiPies make t curious obsereation to a friend of his (Mr. B.'e.) His 'riend said, " aVell, I understand you arc sure of a mak,- ity ?" The Peer re plied, " Yee, I suppose we are ; but I ihould like to know what wears to do with it alien we have j tot it." (Great laughter.) He (Mr. B.) had never seen e let of men who were victorious look so crest-fallen. It would lave done a man's heart good to have seen the counte. lances of the end-reform rs at the announcement of the majority of the division on Monday night. The Tories ad had a political fast, and looked horrified when they card the reformers, at the top of their lungs, give an huzza" that mieht hare been heard at Pimlico. He hoped at the country would remain peaceful and tranquil during e approaching internmom, and he knew that the bill teat be carried. It had been said, if the people were caceable, that they were intliffe rent to reform — if they were o isy, it was said titcy were mad. He hoped, however, that ey would not proceed to violence, and hoped that the Mar. itit. of Londonderry's head might be kept entire, if it were my to stop the mouth of Sir C. Wetherell—(greAt ughter)—whose nonsense had almost been the death of iim (Mr. B.) WALBROOK WARD. — A My respectable meeting of this lard met ye iterday, and moved an address to his Majeaty, Foploring him to eiccelerate, by all constitutional means, the toe of reform. The tr.e.thig pledged themselves to put rrn all acts of violence and outrage. CHRIST CHURCH, ZUHIPAY.A Very numerous meet rg of the parishioters ere Christ Church, Surrey, took ate last evening, at the National Schoul.house, in theriborough Street, for the purpose of agreeing to e a Address to his Majesty, expressing their loyalty a attachment to his person and Government; their clay and regret at the rejection of the Reform .1 by the House of Lords.

The :ion of the Reform bill on Saturday morning, by the use of Lords, tidings of which reached Brighton early l a afternoon of that day, spread a gloom over town, and nothing else was tal ked or seemed be thought of.

It is now said nut. - large carpet inalutfaetory has likewise been shut up. Ptalsourn.—The indignation and disgust evinced by the inhabitants. on the rejection of the Refonrll, must convince even Lord Rolle, of any other anti-refereter, tint there is no luktwarmness—no alteration of eendrueat, with respect to this greet question. Imuiedistely on the arrival of the mail on Sunday evening, the astounding news was communicated to almost every person with astonishing celerity. On Monday morning grief was depicted on every every counterance : every one asked his nigh- 1 bang—What will this come to ? Where and vhen will this contest terminate ? Has the hereditary branch of the Legislature had the temerity to place thee selves in array againe the King anti the people ? The answer was—Alas I It is true ; m• 1 God only knows what will be the consequence. The windows of almost every shop in the town vs ero partially closed, and remained so. The bells cf St. Andrew'. church, and Charles' church P 1). month, Stoke church, the chapels of Devoaport, and the chapels of Kat Stoneheuxe, poured forth the solemn knell on Monday all day.

On Monday, the meeting was held in Paradise-square. The excitement was intense; the square and the avenues leading to it were crowded to excess ; but one (.cling per. vadect and adulated the thuasands :he %ere peanut ; the whole appearance was supub and imposir; in the zetreme. Lord Milton, who determined on being present the moment the intention of convening the meeting was announced to him, Mr. Parker, Mr. J. Parker, and other gentlemen ad dresed the assembly. It was not tl.o time to make long syeeches i and lo one indulged in that (telly. Every indite , dual understood the object and purpose of Ocir comlr.g to gether too well, to make leugtheued harangues necessary.— it was the time fur action, rot for talking. Every man, both speakers and berms, seemed impressed with this conviction ; consequently the addressee delivered were brief, spirittel, decisive, and to the point ; con ceived in the spirit which had broe3ht the ieo. pie :together, and giving utterance to the feelings and sentiments which, without a single exception. pervaded them. It was resolved, at the meeting, to address the King, beseeching him to continue his present Ministers in office, create a sufficient number of Peers, or adopt such other constitutional means as may be necessacy to carry tbc mea. sure of Reform : also to address Earl Grey recommending him and his colleagues to remain in office, and persevere in their endeavours to carry the Bill. The excitement among our ertiaans was unprecedented.— A meeting of the sprint-knife ciders, and several other branches of the Trades' Union, took piece early on Monday morning, when many individuals expressed themselves in the most determined and violent menner, and it was only by the exertions of the more sensible and peaceably disposed mem bers of the societies that order was preserved. The general committee of this Union met very early in the morning. De legates were appointed to proceed to the diccrcut houses of resort, and to requesttheiru veral members .o conduct them selves peaceably and orderly ; aed we owe it mainly to the exertions of this intelligent body, that we hare to congratulate ourselves on the continued tranquillity of this town. At the meeting of the Committee, the Secretary, Mr. John Wardle, was appointed to address the public meeting and urge upon them the importanee cf peace and order at this crisis. Such, however, are the feel. ings of the woreiasses towards Lord Whaireliffe, 01.12.

(Inc of them said, in our bearing,“ Ht lass sinned with his eyes open; being one of our magisuatcs, and knowing the circtur.stances of the town almost as well as any individual in the neish bourhood, be must be well aware that the expressions he has made use of respecting the 101. voters, arenas in any degree applicable to them." Dnonstsr.D.A public meeting was held in Dronikld, on Tuesday, to address the King on the subject of the form Bill, imphring him to exercise all constitutional means foe carrying - boo effect that great and indispensable measure, and to retain his present ministers in office.

The National Anthem e. d Rub Britannia were sung by the 'meting, which consisted of at L ast 500 pernais, and several loyal were played by a band of music i t u:tendance, and the proceedings termi nated with three cheers for the King cod Reform. This is the first meeting ever I AO in Dronfi..lo for pill ical purposes. and clearly evinces the spirit of Reform is not confined to lar l e pupnlents to• ns, bat extends alike to the village and hamlet. The atddr,e-s having been signed by the Vicar, his Citrate, and 435 of the inhabitants, has since been trans mit:sd to the Br.rl Barlin:;ton for presentation. WIIIBTON.—TIic Leart-reoding intelligence of the defeat of enter blow(' Sovsreign, of 31Lii+ters, and the House of Cameinns, by a certain disloyal and interested party in the non-: of Lunt% was received at the small village of Whiston nn Sunday niefftt ; when immediately the melancholy mur murs of on,: of tie church bells, muffled and clad in mourn announced the unhappy news to the sorrowing and loyal inhabitants of that plaice.

Late on 3londay night fourteen squares were broken in the Rectory windows, but it was merely a lark for the amusement of a fee drunken youths. EXETER, Ocx. 13.—The excitement throughout the county of Devon, in conseq•,ence of the rejection of the bill by the Lords, is deep, ominous, and fearful. In Plymouth end Tavistock the shops have been closed, and the towns Lays put on an aspect of mourning, indicative of the heart. felt sorrow of the inhabitants. At Bideford, 13ariest.ple, Totne , s, Newtoa, and in short every town throughout the county mceting- ha -e been had on the subject ; and but for the reit me: t! dt:.restion of Ministers, and the eon. tinned adhere: e: ci 'it , Maje,ty to the came of reform, the whole enuntri would he with open insurrection.— Lord Rolle has be:n a••.tthe oatia.:d by all parties, except the few thick-and-thio Tories who make darkness visible here by their coven opposition to reform. At 'i OTRES.,, on a'tieti Litt, considerable disturbance took pi :e. in c0n...1 ...tic. of the Mayor rcfus:ng the use of the Guihlhall. Hi. Won'.ip's windows were smashed, &c. but nothing beyond this occurred. That person also refused to let the tor❑ crier give notice of the meeting, when a very respettable inhabitant forth with a bell, and performed the duties of that celebrated functionary with adequate effect himself. Every thing is now quiet, relying on the firmness of Earl Grey. DARTTO3D, OCT. 13. A mening!of the inhabitants of Danford, Crayfotd, and their vicinities, took place this day, to petition the Throne, when between 2 and 3,000 persons were present, and no doubt there would have been double the number if the weather had not been so unpro. pitious. The meeting was conduc:ed with the greatest order and propriety. Htiscxxxv, OCT. 13.—We stud up by this day's post an address to his Majesty, regre.ting that the Bill has been thrown out by the Lords, and, fearful of the peace of the country being broken should Ministers resign ; begging his Majesty not to accept their resignation, and entreating Win to exercise his prerogative by creating new Peers, to secure the musing of the Reform Bill; and in this small town of 7,000 inhabitants there are about 900 voluntary signatures to the address, signed in about 24 hours, while it lay at the Town Hall. LEEDS.—The news of the rejection of the Reform Bill reached Leeds on Sunday afternoon, and created great ex. dunk:tit and dismay. There was not, however the least disposition to dizigreco the cause by outrage or in timidation. Oa Tuesday night, a small crowd paraded some of the streets with an effigy of the Duke of Wellington, with which they halted before the Intelligeneer office, and having set fire to a Lw squibs isr.d crackers, and vented sundry hooting, and cheers, they proceeded on tilde rounds. Last night they carried about the " Duke, " and an effigy hanging by the neck, bearing the title of et Lord Harewood." Evzsuam, OCT. 13.—A public tn.:ming, fur elm purpose voting a loyal and dutiful address to his Blajeaty, was held in Guildhall at Rve.bani, on Wetine-day, pursuant to a requisition. The chair was taken by Edward Budge, Esq. In the ab.:.nce of the Mayor. Such a meeting for numb r, respectability, and fervour, was never witn.ssed in that borough. The resolutions were carried unani mously, and the proceedings terminated in three tremen dous cheers for the King, and three for Earl Orel and his colleagues. DERlBT.—Coroner's Inquests on the Bodies of Hcury Haden, Esq. John Hicking, and John Garncr.—The Coro ner's ey on this lamentable occasion had been appointed to meet at the Town Hall on Tue:day last, at twelve o'clock, bnt after waiting until one, the gentlemen of the jury were Informed that the Coroner (Bryan Balguy, Esq.) would in about half an hour be in readiness to attend the Jury to in spect the bodies at the places where they r...pectively lay.— Accordingly, shortly before two o'clock, the coroner, accom panied by the gentlemen of the inquest, proceeded to inspect the corpse of J.

Mr. Huggins, surgeon, thought it advisable that the body should be opened in order to ascertain the na ture of the wound which hod Apparently caused the death of the body before th.m. To this the coroner consented, and Mr. Huggins was requested to perform this operation with as little .'clay as possible. The jury tl en prem.:tied to the house of Dr. Haden, and inspected the body of his lamented son. It was understood that the body hail been opened by Mr. Godwin and another medical gentleman.

He was houledistely followed by about 1,000 persons, principally lads anti women, enusisting of nearly equal numbers. At the gaol, a lamppost was pulled down, and the prison doors coolly bat erred in, while n number of lads thither* tly poked out the glass from the windovs with sticks.

NOTE I SIGH A 11.—On Sunday morning about 1,000 per. sons assembled to witness the arrival of the mail, when some one called out Wellington had been fired at and shct. This news (however lamentable) was hailed wi:h rine cheers. As the mail passed the house of a Mr. Hedderley, one of the Anti-Reformers. report says he wc.s so imprudent as to waive a white kerchief and bail the No. 41.

SOUTH SHIELDS, Ocr. 12.—The news of the rejection of the Reform bill by a majority of the Lords reached Ms place at eight on Monday morning. It spread universal dismay and indignation, but it was felt to be a time for ac tion, and not for unpro ductive feeling. In a few hours the following requisition, signed by 110 of the most respectable inhabitants, was presented to Nicholas Fairies, Esq. resident Magistrate :—" The undersigned request you will call a meeting of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, to be holden in the Town-hall, at seven o'clock in the evening of this day. for the purpose of addressing the King and his Ministers on the present fearful crisis of our affairs," which was immediately acceded to by that public.spitited Magistrate. At five the bills were issued, calling the meeting--at seven, the hour appointed, the hall was crowded to suffocation, hun dreds were obliged to remain without. Nicholas Fairies, Esq. was unanimously called to the chair, and opened the business in a neat and spirited speech. Robert Ingham, Esq. introduces:, in a very eloquent speech, the following reso lution, which was carried by acclamation :—" That this meeting has learned with indignation and alarm the rejection of the Reform bill by the House of Lords, without even ex. amining its provisions In Committee; that they rely with unabated confidence on the firmness of the King, the patrio tism of his Ministers, and the determination of the people, and pledge themselves to pursue to the utmost every con. stitutional means of obtaining a full, fair, and free Repre sentation in Parliament." An Address to his Majesty was proposed by J. Mathews, Esq. and carried lit the same spirit. FEELINGS IN SCOTLAND ON TDB LEJECTION OF THE BILL. GLesoow.—.Such has been the anxiety to ascertain the fate of the reform bill In the House of Lords, that Immense crowds of the citizens have within the last two or three days assembled at the foot of Nelson -street, waiting the arrival of 1 the London mail with the expected intelligence. Monday afternoon the wLole line of street, from the Cross to the foot of Candkriggs, was occupied by a dense crowd of the most respectable people in the city, every countenance expressive of the most intense anxiety to learn the fate of the measure. On its rejection being ascertained beyond all doubt, the people expressed their feelings by a simultaneous groan and hisses. In the Royal Exchange and Tontine Coffrerooms, the intelligence was also received with deep groans and uni. venal hissing. PAlSLEY.—lntelliger.ce of the fate of the bill being fully expected in Paisley on Monday night, an Immo: se crowd awaited the arrival of the mail. One party went out to meet it with a black and red flag. The black one, of course. was exhibited, and the music the dullest and most mournful that could be selected. The disappointment ap. peared to be very great. Several shops were shut in the crowded parts of the town, but no manifestation of riot was exhibited. _ _ . GREENOCC—Soon after the arrival of the London mall last night (Monday), the streets became unusually crowded. A strong feeling naturally enough prevailed on the rejection of the bill ; but not the slightest approach to any breach of tranquillity was manifested. Durante.— When the mail arrived last night (Monday), there was not a great number of persona on the streets; but on learning that the bill had been thrown out, strong marks of dissatisfaction were manifested. The maglattates Issued a proclamation early this morning (Tuesday), incul. eating on the inhabitants the necessity of maintaining the public poste, as being essential to the ultima•e success of pailian:entary reform, together with a main for railing a meeting of the inhabitants, to address. his Majesty. A meet ing was accordingly held at one o'clock, in the Steeple Church, at which the Provost presided. The meetii.g was addressed by the Provost, Messrs. G. Milt+, E. Baxter, D. Jobson, W. Christie, and J. M. Lindsay. The general tenor of the speeches was lamenting the decision their Lord ships had come to, and recommending an address to his Majesty. The meeting was numerously attended, and many could not gain admittance. The front of the gallery was hung with black flags, in token of mourning, and throughout the day many of the vessels in the harbour displayed their colours only half mast high on the occasion. We have much pleasure in noticing that not the slightest disposition to riot or disorder has been manifested. HADDIXOTOX. The fate of the R.form Bill was heard here with sullen disappointment, and yesterday the Tuwn Ccuactl met to address the Etcg to continue his Mi nisters, and to ex.rt his royal prerogative to carry the IC:- form through the Lords. The inhabl.ants met for a similar purpose in the evening, and although intimation of the meeting was only given four hours before it was held, there were about Bno persons assembled in the County Hall, Robert Stewart, Esq. of Alderston, was called by acclama tion to the chair. JEDIWROH, 11711 OCTOB3II.—The news of the defeat of thr reform bill was received here yesterday, and excited universally a deep feeling of anxiety and indignation. A gloom overspread every countenance, while groups of people were seen at every corner, earnestly discussing what might be the consequences. The impor , ant question, What will the Lords do ? has now given place to the equally importan. and more useful inquiry, What will the people do ? HAWICZ, Ger. 10.—lnimediately after tbe arrival of dm London mail here this mort.ing, carrying the melancholy intelligence of the rejection of the Keform Bill, • re. quisition was presented to the Magistrates to call a public meeting again to address leis Majesty, and also to memo rialise (hey. The meeting was accordingly held the same evening, and was numerous and respectable beyond precedent. Duos R I ea.—Yesterday (Monday) was a doleful day in Dumfries—by far the most doleful we ever re:menthes—and we certainly exaggerate nothing when we say, that the state of public feeling accorded admirably with the nature of the weather. Though all was gloom there was 110 con vulsion, moral or physical—no rending of the elements—no chasing into action the lazy vapours that would else, as Lord Erskine said, stagnate into pestilence; but in their place a virtuous submission to the powers that be, along with a fixed and settled purpose to ►rave the wont, should the wont happen, in defence of the King, the Commons, and the Country. Assax.—ln Annan the news excited a very strong sen sation—so strong indeed, that Provost Williamson directed that muffled bells should toll a mournful peal, which they continued to do during the day.

LITERATURE. The all-engrossing subject which has, since the commencement of the month, occupied the mind —the pen—th: tongue, of all who can thi , .k, write, or speak, within the British empire, has thrown us much in arrear with our literary no tices. We have, however, n t been so entirely absorbed in politics as to hare denied ourselves our usual feast on the Magazines and other periodi cal publications, and we shall now endeavour to point out what has struck us as their merits; and first we find— Froser's Maga:int. Distinguished by its uvual aulanye of wit, wickedness, and wisdom. Its character is peculiar, for when even we cannot approve we often admire, and are almost always amuse!. Admirers u we arc of the prcaent Chancellor, we canton assent to the appreciation of his talent as given in a paper in Ilia Magazine; and yet the paper in question, it must be acknowizegcd, is ably written. The author of the critique on the principal Pccn in the House of Lords, is too fond of sayitt; a good thinA to be very Wm in his adherence to the true :hill. Tu make amends for obliquity of vision on po litial qu.ations, there arc io Fraser some beautiful articles of Lieu literary merit, both in the lines of &dal and moral disquiaition. The Eroolishuhttes Mooring Is a publication of quite a different stamp. The con duetois of it, in taking u that imprint the head of De Foe. have prov.ll them.elvca to have appreciated accurately the literary tikliti they could bring into action. The two first pulitic..l ankles—one on the Consequence of Resistance of tl.t. Peers to Rdonn....and the other ot. Priniogenitive Rights, arc a tbird with all the plain bold truth of the author of the taste-bore English ran—arid puhaps a tale posseasing WM, strongly il.e truth, or, at lee.t, isact verisimilitude of die .author of Rehinv n Cm•oe, than that in this 'impala* intitkil Th.: Water Whelmal,"—is not to be found In the whole compass of ludas literature.
