which, without diminishing its eillciency, may reader it more perfect. But what I mean to say is, that I will be no party to any measure which I do not conscientiously believe will give the people a full, free, and fair rep rete n tat i on i n parliament, and secure all the objects which we hoped to etfat for them by the late bill. It is Impossible that his 31Ajesty's present Government can make any other proposi. ta-n to the house." On one point deeply concerning the people, he :nade observations which equally merit conspi ctiou4 display: • There is one, and only one, chance of failure and die. .ppointment : I mean any occurrence that may lead the vople to break out into acts of violence, or into any uncon. - ,titutional conduct. If I have any influence with the t eple, if they put any trust in my sincerity, I implore for the sake of the great cause in which we are tzlized, to be patient and peaceable, and to do nothing Agal and unconstitutional. (Hear, hear.) I would say to Be as firm, be as determined, be as persevering as yon please ; but never break through legal and constitu ti,inal restraints--never place yourselves in a situation in v.lnch the law must be put in operation against you, whoever arc 31iniaten.' (Hear, bear.) By temperance, steadiness, and perseverance, the cause of Parliamentary Reform must Intimately triumph." Another feature of the debate was a spirited observation of Colonel Evans, who said that no Government could exist in this country if the measure failed ; and if any Government should exist, which attempted to govern by the sword, he woeld be one of the first to draw the sword to resist it. (Cheers—Order, order ! and con tusion.) On which Sir C. Wetherell rose to order, end moved that the words should be taken down; and after a short time, the Speaker called on Col. Evans to explain ; when the Colonel said he was not surprised that the Hon. and Learned Member, who had on ao many occasions distinguished himself by the extraordinary terms he used, should find fault with his plain language. (Order, chair, and ex plain.) What he said was this : That if a Govern ment of the sword should be established, under the present circumstances, he, for one, should be ready o raise a sword to resist it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The division was most satisfactory to the public cause—there appearing 329 for the motion, and only 198 against it. At the Great Mary-le-bonne Meeting yesterday, w hich will long be memorable in making the bes use of the statue of Achilles for the standing of the Chairman and Committee, in addition to expres sions of confidence in the King and Ministers, the Meeting passed the two following Resolutions, which we record as exhibiting sentiments more than common-place : That this Meeting entertain the strongest feelings of gratitude to the King, for the paternal regard he has maul. tested to the welfare and happiness of his people, and to assure him of our unabated and unaltersble attac hment to his Royal person at the present crisis ; that we beg earnestly to suggest the propriety of his Majesty Immediately dis missing those Peers, and others persons, who may be em ployed in ary office of trust, honour, or emolument, in. eluding placemen in the Royal Household, Lord Lieute nants of Colludes, and in short all persons bolding situations at the pleasure of the Crown, and to retain those only who have advocated the rights of the people. That this Meeting (unanimously) pledge themselves to wait with patience, and cheerfully to pay the public taxes, until His Majesty's Ministers shall have bad time to adopt the necessary measures to secure the speedy passing of the Reform Bill into a law • but, at the same time (unanimously) to declare their fixed and unalterable resolution, if unfortu nately an antLreform and Tory administration should take the places of Earl Grey and his colleagues, that this Meet ing will immediately withhold, and persuade others to with hold, by every legal means in their power, the payment of all tithes and taxes. To morrow the Kipp will come from Windsor to St. James's Palace, where his MAJESTY will hold a Levee and afterwards a Cabinet Council. Hamburg and Berlin Papers have reached us this afternoon ; and although they contain some very interesting accounts of the continued misfor tunes of the Poles, whose cause is now hopeless, they would, under our present domestic excite ment, be of secondary interest, and we have there fore postponed them till to-morrow. The Cholera has spread to Breslau and Magdeburg. We have this day the official return of the quarter's revenue, which proves to be only 11,327,2491. whereasi on the same day last year, the amount was 12,821,1721., exhibiting a de crease of 1,590,8081. On the year the deficiency is 3,072,2011 The whole revenue for the past year being but 43,460,4661. We are aware that in stating these circumstances, it is usual to refer to reductions of duties ; but whatever may have been the reductions, the receipts of the old duties have by no means expired ; and we re gard the diminution as arithmetical proof of a fact notorious to every man of sense in England—that the trade, trausictions, and consumption of taxed commodities through the country, have been ra pidly on the decline. It would be unworthy of our respect for truth, and throwing dust in the eyes of the public, not to state this circumstance in the plainest and broadest manner. In truth, we believe, that if the means of the People had continued equal, abatements of taxes would have been accompanied by increase of consumpti and revenue; but it is fallacious to pretend, that a sensible reduction of revenue is a consequence of -.11 abatement of taxes, discontinued only within a ►ew months. Thank GOD the reduction of the rovenue will oblige our Statesmen to consider of the causes of the sufferings of the people, so as to enable them to increase the consumption of luxuries and comforts. At two o'clock this day a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. After the Council, there was a conference of the Ministers of the Five Great Powers. ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 79j for the account, opened at 79i to 80, went up to 84, and at present they are 80, with little doing, as they are chiefly occupied settling accounts against the 13th inst. which is settling day.

A general meeting of the parishioners of St. Pancras took place this day in Clarence Market, Regent's Park, " to address the King, support his ministers, and consult on the present state of pub lic affairs." Business of every kind appeared to suspended, and the shops throughout this extensive parish were almost without exception closed, — either wholly or in part. The inhabitants of Somers' Town assembled in Clarendon Square, and marched in procession to the place of meet ing, pleaded by Major Revell, and Mr. Withers. The inhabitants of other divisions of the parish proceeded in the same way; and the whole met about twelve o'clock in Clarence Market, where spacious hustings had been erected. Numerous flags and banners were displayed, one of which was surmounted with al cap of liberty, and upon a black banner was inscribed " Englishmen, support our pa triotic King and Ministers . Placards of various kinds were to be seen at almost every house, particularly one, headed—" Englishmen ! pay no more tythes, no more church rates, except upon compulsion ; but, for GOD'S sake ! do not withhold King's taxes; rather contribute an extra mite to support the King and his Ministers." And it then went on to ex hort the people to insist that the Bishops should no longer be allowed to sit in the House of Peers, or interfere with secular affairs, but confine themselves to the performance of their spiritual duties. The chair was taken by Mr. Willis ; and when our reporter left, Major Revell was addressing the anxious multitude. The highly respectable parishioners of ST. GILES'S AND ST. GEORGE'S, BLOOMSBURY, met this day at the Angel Inn, for the purpose of ad dressing his Majesty, pledging themselves to sup port his Ministers; their determination to support his Majesty, even with the formation of a National Guard, in the event of such a course being deemed necessary ; and in order to do so, the meeting were called upon not to separate without taking measures to provide for such an emergency. Four delegates were appointed for this purpose, who were also en trusted with the important duty of consulting with other parishes as to the best means of carrying the objects of the meeting into effect, and conjointly to agree upon such measures as may be deemed necessary for the protection of their wives, families, and property. The following resolution was put by Mr. Charles Young, seconded by Mr. Savage, an d carried : N Resolved—" The sense this Meeting entertain of Ec ciesiastical matters, and duties of the Pastors of the Church, is—that however precedents may have warranted the conduct the Lords Spiritual the Bishops, in voting on Temporal Concerns, as in the case of the recent division on the Reform Bill, they are, nevertheless, decidedly and unanimously of opinion, that their doctrine, 1 to live in peace and charity with all mankind,' was wilfully violated and shamefully abused in their conduct on that occasion. And it is, fur. thermore, the sense of the Meeting, that the mere regard for the good opinion of the Laity towards the Ecclesiastical Bench should have induced them to remain neutral on that momentous question, and not have arrayed themselves in open hostility to the wishes of the King, the Commons, and the People." By half-past 11 o'clock the spacious yard of the Angel Inn was completely thronged, but in order to prevent any obstruction, Mr. Roger's had deter mined that the meeting should be adjourned to Lincoln's Inn-Selds, the greeter portion of which is within the parish.—About half-past 12 o'clock Mr. Wakley, of Bedford•square, arrived, and was most cordially greeted. The yard, by this time, was so full that it was almost impossible to enter, and it was resolved to move off to Lincoln's Inn fields. At one o'clock the assemblage formed at the north-east corner of Lincoln's-inn fields. Charles Temple, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Mr. Wakley addressed the Meeting. To the argu ments used in favour of the Bill, he made the fol lowing professional illustration:—" When at the College of Surgeons, he like others had to conform to certain rules. The resurrection-men broke open the vaults of the Great as well as the labourer, and at length it became necessary when they brought a " subject" to ask the following question, " Is it a Lord or a labourer ?" fur the body of a Lord was only valued at 16s. or 18s. at the utmost, while that of a labourer brought 16 or 18 pounds. He quoted the Devonshire story of Bob and his father with the four horses :—Bob stopped in the middle of a ploughed field, and asked his father why he, a simple boy, could rule four such fine horses as those of which his team consisted. The father answered, " They have no thought." So was it with the Lords. When they the doctors sought the cavity where the brains cught to be, they found only pap, and hence they became useless. Our reporter left Mr. Wakley dilating on these points. The only displays of popular vengeance last night, were in the breaking of some of the windows of the Duke of Northumberland, at Charing-cross, and of the Duke of Newcastle, in Portman-square. A Club-house, in Bond -street, also suffered some damage ; but it should be understood, that all sus pected houses were surrounded by group of police. At a time when loyalty distinguishes every act of the people, it was grievous last night to see a branch of the Royal Family imitating the Duke of Wellington as leader of a faction, by blockading his windows in the style of a prison. Such was the fact in regard to his Majesty's cousin, the Duke of Gloucester, whose windows, about four o'clock, were boarded up, in imitation of his ob noxious neighbour. Whatever may be the narrowness or perverseness of his opinions, the spectators felt that his near affinity to King William was his best security against popular resentment. We were glad to observe that the barricades were taken down this morning, and we should hope that such a sign of distrust in a branch of t' e Royal Family will not be renewed. Indignation is specially directed against the Bishops at the variousztoublic meetings, because it appears that their votes decided the majority. Most of them, however, owe their promotion to the Pitt and Tory system of the last 30 ears, and therefore, like Pitt's mushroom Peers, they voted in the interest that bad made them. The circum stance is unfortunate, since it has strengthened the growing dislike of the country to the enormous re venues and the tythe system, by which the Church is so unequally aggrandized. It accelerates the period of Church Reform, already so loudly de manded. PUBLIC FEELING. COMMON HALL. • Yesterday an lumens . Meeting TheUwe:l took place at the Guildhall. for the double purpose of receiving the sleshion of the Court of Aldermen on the return made of the Lord Mayor and Alderman Thorp to serve the office of Lord Mayor fur the ensuing year, and of addressing his Majesty upon the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by some of the Aldermen and the Law Officers, entered the Hall, and proceeded amidst the loudest acclatuations to the hustings,. where the Common Susan officially stated the return made by the Livery. The Lord Lord Mayor and Alder men then lef. the Hall for the Court of Aldermen, where • discussion took place with closed doors, upon th.: merits and eligibility of the two Aldermen. Whiff: the Court of Aldermen were occupied in die- ' melon, the thousands In the Hall expressed their feel ings by singing " GOD. save the King," " Rule Bri tannia," and in giving cheers for the King and groans for the House of Lords. Reports bad ban very generally citeulated that the Court of Aldermen would acquiesce in the judgment and wish of the Livery by selecting the Lord Illayor. Two hours elapsed before the Aldermen returned, snd then the appearance or the body indicated that they bad decided in opposition to their fellow.citizens. The following decusslon took place, we understand, in the Court, which was composed of the following persons : The Lord Mayor, Aldermen Wood, Waitlitnan, Thomp. eon, Venable*, Thorp, Hunter, Kelly, Cowan, Wilson, Laurie, Brown, Cope Lind, &holey, Garrett, Atkins, Birch, Farebr4ther, Winchester, Flower, Lucas, Ansley, and Ileygate. Alderman THOMPSON asked, whether, if the Court of Aldermen returned Alderman Thorp, th;tt member would serve ? • ;Alderman Banwm objected to the question. The Court fled only to decide between the two candidates. Alderman COPELAND expressed himself in the strongest tame against tile return of the Lord Mayor•. Re considered it a most unjustifiable course In the Livery to call upon the City Members to vote for his Lordship, or to attempt to in fluence their choice in any way. He hoped the Court would not be Intimidated, and that the Aldermen who had not yet reached le chair would se. at defiance any attemp to intl. midate them. Alderman FARLINOTHER followed on the same side. AU. flaown declared that the Court had been insulted by the chief magistrate, who ought to bar_ protected them, by calling for a departure from the system of rotation by which they had hitherto been bodnd. He also thought that tits Lon; Mayor was highly reprehensible for having used bis Influence as Chic: Illagistrote, to save a violent pollti cadtuyose. . C. 8. li UNTER recommended strongly to the Court to meet the wishes of the livery, by elec.ing IMie Lord Mayor. Those wishes had been must powerfully and untquivoe.ally expressed, and he, for one, should treat them with due respect. MO. WINCIIESTIR sold tin: be was iecidedly opposed to the return of the Lord Mayor, who had attempted to se. the Livery against the Court. Ha trusted dia. the lan guage of ihtimidation would have no effect in that Court. Alderman THOMPSON said, that if sty Alderman who had not yet :cached the Chair had been 'turned with the Lord Mayor by the Livery, he would have voted for that Alderman • • but as the Livery had returned two who had passed the Char, and so strongly testified whom they wished to see L the Chair, he thought it his duty, particularly at such a period of e xcitement, to conform to the wishes of so large a Indy of his fellow.citisens. Sir C. S. Heaven said, that not one of the Aldermen below the Chair had came forward in opposition; and he thought the: if there was another election, Sir Peter Laurie would not stand any greater chance of being elected than he did a week ago. Sir P. LAURIE said, that he had stood forward upon the occasion to fight not only his own battle, but to fight the battles of all who were, with,hituself, below the Chair, and of all the Members of the Court. He knew that the Court would not give a vote dictated by fear—that they were not to be intimidated. He denied that if a new election took place he would be a loser. He was convinced, on the con trary, that be would have a large majority. And of whom did his minority consist ? Of the most respectable men in the Livery. Aud by whom was that minority opposed ? By persons, the mority of whom formed the dregs of so ciety. Alderman Thompson, who had counselled the Court to return In accordance with e wishes of the Livery might distinguish himself, if be pleased, by truckling. The wor thy member had already truckled to a self. constituted body, whom he (Sir Peter Laurie) would disdain to stoop to; but Alderman Thompson had cheated about before, and was likely its change again. Alderman Tmosersox said, that the Worthy Knight bad charged him with truckling. The occasion to whiA the allusion had doubtless been made formed no ground foe such an imputation. He defied—he dared any man to accuse hint of truckling. Indeed, the .Wortby Knight had given an admirable specimen of his political integrity aid consistency. The Worthy Knigli. mii,ht well set up as a paragon of purity and consistency, when, in one short hour after having declared himself a Reformer, be declared that he would unfurl the banners of the Anti-llefinmers, and show whc. strength the opponents of t.te Bill had. Sir PATER LAUIMIL t list is false S Altiettuan Taosswaott Duel Sir Peter Laurie dare to charge me with having uttered a falsehood ? Sir PETER Lynam said, he meant to say, that who. ever gave that information to Alderman Thompson told a falsehood. Alderman Tifoiersox raid that Sir Peter Laurie had de clared in his presence, as well as in the inerence of others in the Guildhall, that he would unfurl the banana of Anti- Reform. Here there were loud cries of "Order V' and " Question!" ntAl the Court proceeded to vote. The event was, the Lord Mayor was thrown out by a majority of three, the numbers :sting, for the lead Ma or, 10; tot Alderman Thorp, IS. In the Common Hall the RECOIDSI, amidst bases and groans, informed the impaieht Livery of the result ; and, ae. cording to the vault' forms, Alderman Thorp was called upon to come forward and declare his consent to take upon himself the office of Lord Mayor for the year er.suing. Alderman Tnose said, that it was with great regret he found that the hopes of the Livery had been disappointed by the decision of the Court of Aldermen. lie felt grateful, at the scone time, fur the conduct of sthe Livery towards lihnself ; but he must be blind Indeed, exceedingly blind, to the views and wishes of those who voted on the late occa sion, if he hesitated to beg to be excused from serving the dike of Chief Magistrate (loud and long-continued cheers). That office would, he believed, be far from being a bed of down to the holler, in consequence of a recent calamitous event—the ties:ruction of the hopes of the country by the rej. etiun of the liefurm Bill (loud enters). He wished :oat their Lordships had been mans when the Livery assembled, to convii.c.: them Alai their estimate of the feeling of the city on the subject of the Bill was erroneous (cheers). No tmb. another contest would be the result, but it was easy to see how it would conclude (loud cheering). Mr. CIIAILII2, PLAIIIION Clime forward amidst great cep pleura. He stied that die experience of that eay had shown that toe House of Lords was not the only body in , 1 the kingdon. woe could set at de fi ance wishes of Cie I ;people. (Cheers.) The Court of Aldermen, well knowing cant dieir fellow-citizens were anxious for the re-election of their prevent excellent Chia Magistrate, tad obstinately re turned Alderman Thorp, although they had been apprised beforehand di.: every honourable feeling would dictate to that worthy guilt:tutu the propriety of declining .he house: which its other days he had borne in a coot distinguished manner. A great portion o: Inc Meediens of the Court of Aldermee were half a ceneury behinn .he rest of man. kind in point of intelligence. L was one of the vices of the system by which they held their uric., that they should be so renioto--they Isere, In fact, like the fabled Struburgs of Dean Bolles imagining —(hear, hear) —beings who retained in their own solitary persons all the antiquated Tory opinions and feelings which, however they might have prevailed when they were elected, had been hap pily long since swept away by the Increased intelligence and improved feelings of mankind. (Great cheers.) He h a d a motion on the paper or the Court which would cause a shaking among their dry bones--(Langhter)--a motion to make die office of Aldermen of septennial duration, and thus send them back periodically to their constituents; so that as the Court could not, like the House of Lords, be re. formed by creating more Aldermen, some of the present lot might be changed for others, as any change must be for the better, it being impossible to produce • worse collection than the present. (Laughter and cheers.) He begged to give their worships one k ii ci e ulan at of information, which was, that there were serious doubts whether they were not bound to return the other A sent to them by the Livery, as one had declined to serve (best, bear). — If this were the case, the Livery would not procosd to soo- PUBLIC FEELING. - - thee elation, and the Lord Mayo r tuus t cont i nue i n Aka in despite of the perverse conduct of the Aldermen (cheers). The Lord Mayor would not act rashly or unadvisedly. The I opinion of the firs. lawyers of th e l en d should be taken on 'the subject, and if the return of the Coutt of Aldermen was a bad return, no tro:ible and no expense should be spared to protect the rights of the Livery from Aldernante en. emschnunt, and to secure the services of the Lord Mayor without keeping op public excitement, in r4erenee to the election to that Ala, when they had the important business of Paalkmentary Reforie before them, which required the onion of all parties to promote (cheers.) He advis el the Court to retire with their legal advisers, and consider the propriety of amending their return. Ile shout: not at thar moment dilate furtha upon the merits of the context it which they had been engaged, that the Lively might nut be prevented from proceeding to the discussion of the other important subject which stood for their consideration. He would now propose a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs. If they were bound to proceed to another contest, the Livery woulti do their duty, and return to the Court of Aldermen the sanie candidates again, and ace whether that Court would again resist the choice. (Cheers.) Mr. PIAkIOX then turned round to the Reconler, and asked him whether he would advise the Aldermen to retire, and have the benefit of hl mature counsel on the subject ; but the Recorder refused to give any answer. The Learned Judge was, therefore, booted most tremendously. Mr. STersos then moved, " That the Common 11411 should request that the Aldermen would return and amend their decision." The resolution was unanimously carried, and the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Record e r ret i re d ; b ut his Lordship returned after a few minutes' absence, accom panied by no more than the Sheriffs and two Aldermen. The LOUD /MAYOR then addressed the livery in a most forcible speech, in which he declared his readiness at all times to act for the benefit of his fellow citizens. H: de scribed the hostility to which he had exposed himself, by using all his efforts for the support of a most gracious Kul and a most honest and zealous administration. He reps:c anted the necessity, at this period of great excitement, of showing an example of peace, and forbearance and fortitude. Mr. COATES then came forward to propose Resoluticr.s on the subject of the conduct of the Lords. He said, that when he contemplated the perilous aitt'aeion in which the country was placed by the almost revolutionary rejection of the Bill. He did not know whether to appeal to their courage or their prudence. if immeasurab!e evils did not arise front that course which their Lordships had thought fit to pursue, it would no: be in consequence of the wisdom of their Lordships, but in consequence of 'the forbearance of the people (cheers). Was it an experiment upon the part of their Lordships, to I see what the Peers could do without the people ? If it was, they ought to take care that the people would nut follow the example, and try whether they could not do without the Peers. (Loudl cheering.) He thought their lordships would I come offsecond best. Edmund Burke, the aristocrat, said, that the aristocracy were the Corinthian capital of polished society. Yes, but that capital was plated upon a column which was fixed upon a base without which there was no sta. bility for the superstructure. It was by its olden with the middle and the lower classes the harmony of the whole was preserved. Mr. Coates then, in a speech to which our limits will not allow us to do justice, repro bated the conduct of the factious majority of the House of Lot ds, and particularly of the learned prelates. He knew that there might arrive an occasion on which forbear ance would no longer be a virtue—when a Bolingbroke said, " It would be better to die the last of British freemen, thin live the first of British slaves." (Loud cheers) That time, however, was not yet arrived. The bill would still be carried. They met to appeal to the King, at.d, thank God, they hail a KJ:el to whom no just appeal could be made in vain. He (dlr. Coates) dal not regret that the Lords had rejected the bill (loud cheers), fur now they eouid not on'y have a reformed Douse of Commor.s, but a tefoemed House of Lords too. (Loud and continued cheering.) Those who uppt sal :t were the Peers who were crested tor the very pm poses of corruption. The worthy L:veryinas concluded by moving the first of a string of Resolutions. Mr. lircitains TAYLOR seconded the Resolution, in do. ing which he declared that the Noble opposers of the Bill were nothing better than a pack of traitors, who had ent.red into a conspiracy to destroy the Constitution, and set up an Oligarchy in place of the King and :he Commons (cheers). He ridiculed the conduct of his Grace the Duke of Wel lington and of Sir Robert Peel, who were now throwing out lures for place. He called upon the Livery to act without tumult or riot, which their enemies desired to see. If any lives were lost, upon whom would the blame fall but upon the opposers of the Bill (cheers) ? lie call upon the Livery not to refuse the payment of the taxes. Han occasioa should occur, they mighe legally call upon their representatives to refuse supplies, and then what would an opposing Adminis tration do (loud charts) ? Mr. HOPPELL proposed the second resolution. He called upon the Meeting to petition the King and the Com mons; but as for the Lards, it should be shown to their Lordships that they were not considered worth the parch. meat of a petition, (laughter and cheers.) Their Lordships ought to be left in their solitary and sullen grandeur, and not a word be wasted upon them. (Loud laughter.) Mr. A LDERMAN seconded the Resolution. Other resolutions were proposed, aid, like all the preceds hig, curried unanimously. Never, in tact, was a greater enthusiasm or unanimity manifested than during the whole of the proceedings in the Guildhall. The thanks of the Hall Wising been voted to the Lord Mayor and Alderman Thorp, the Meeting was dissolved. Ciro or WaSTMISISTEL—Yesterday one of the most, numerous meetings that we ever remember of the Habitants of Warminster, tooks place in the Crown and Anchor Ta vern, to address kis Majesty upon the raja:ion of the Re. form Bill by the House of Lords. Long before the hour of meeting (two o'clock) the room and the stairs leading to it were blocked up from one end to the other, so that ingress was found to be impossible, whilst the Strand, in front of the house, was totally impassable. SifFRANCIS BURDETT. on taking the chair, hoped that .he proceedings of the meeting woulo be tinkly. Mr. CAUPUE moral u Reaolution io he effect that the Meeting had heard with great indignati o of the rejecion en the Reform Bill, In defiance to the voice of th: people.— 'This was passed uuanimuusly. Col. Evens exhorted the people to be firm and temps rate. They might rest assured that they would have the Bill, and more than the Bah (Cheers.) Mr. MERLE contended that a desire to get into office am. witted those wtio had so injudiciously rejected the lilt. He remarked upon the want ut props lusting which ti e Bishops bad evinced [here a tremendous groaning and hissi g cum. meneed, which was mingled with long-ctimia.ued cries of " No Bishops ! --they have disgraced themselves—they have acted against the Cuuntry.'J Sir J. C. HOBROUSE dediued that the Lords had not a right to go against the whole nat on, aid to blow into air what the people had fairly won. He exhorted the jkuple to be firm and temperate. In toe language of a well•wrtten provincial paper, emanating from the Burning:tans working classes, he would say, patience patame. ! patience ! Reform was just within theit reach.

In con esquer.ce of the vestry-toorn, hall, and staircase, not being sufficient to contain a quarter of the meeting, an adjournment took place to die church-yard, where upwards of 2,000 persons soon presented themselves. The meeting was perfectly or derly and decorous. Serreietneens.--The east end of the town, particularly the Spitallielde district, yesterday presented a somewhat singular and gloomy appearance. At almost every shcp, three fourths of the shutters were up, to indicate the S.el. logs of the tradesmen as to the rejection of the hill. At a coffee shop, in Wick-lane, there was suspended from a :font window a large black flag wills a deep crape border, in the centre of which were the following words, in deep crimson letters: " The Reform Bill lost by a majority of 41 80. ruughinongers." The most orderly and peaceable enntl..ct was observed. About one thousand Spitalfichls weavers nice in the fiednial.green-road--• weaver, named Royston, in the Chair, when resolutions were adopted similar to those at meetings of a like nature.

I S. Luer's.—The proceedings of this parish were dis t tingulshed by the same unaciruity and enthusiasm which pervaded the other parishes. A Meeting took place—Rev. Dr. Rice in the Chide—at which various appropriate Ono ; Intim, were agreed to. Donor s Orr. 9.-1 communicate to you the particulars of the uofortuuate circumstances that have transpired here, in coneetswestee qj the rejection of the reforms bid. About a !quarter-past seven yesterday evening, an express arrived. bringing the unwelcome tidings. Diappointment and 'doom were generally depicted on the countenances of the in. habitants, and the bells of the different churches were rung ; with mourning peal., till nearly 3in the morning. It is the prevailing opinion, that these evidences of dejection and din. appointed hope would have been the only demonstration of feeling that would have been displayed, and that the peace of the town would have been preserved, bad not so un called.for and insulting ebullition of joy and triumph , manifested itself o n t h e part o f a f ew anti-reformers, ! who, it is stated, commenced cheering in front of Mr Benue:sec's shop in the Market-place, for the glorious majority of 41. This, as a natural consequence, produced a dispos tion to retaliate on the part of 'the people, who had congre- I gated In large nuraben, waiting with bre athless anxiety the confirmation of the intelligence by the evening coach. .I'lley commenced by demolishing the windows of Mr. &ninny's, the bookseller, where the anti.reforni petitiou had lain for signatures; after which they proceeded to demolish the windows and premises of many other persons who had shown themselves the most decidedly inimical to reform. Among the houses that have suffered the most, are those of the Rev. C. 8. Hope, the late Mayor, Sir. Paton, Surgeon ; Mr. H. Mosley, printer, whose son had sent information to Lord Londonderry, casting obloquy on the petiti oners for reform in, this borough; Mr. Lakin ' Market-place ; Mr. Bainb r id ge . surgeon; Mr. John Ha rrison,r. Thomas Cox, ac. ilarkeatoa and Chadd es d e n- hal ls shared the same t ate . 12 o'clock.—The town is in a dreadful state of extiteniew. A large body of people have broken open the borough gaol, and liberated all the prisoners ' because two of the w i n d ow breakers had b een committed. After demolishing every window, they proceeded in countless numbers to the county prison. Many shots were fired upon them from the tweets, and one person is killed, and many wounded. AZOTHRA LITTZA.--SOZDAT MuItWING, OCT. 9. I was interrupted in writing to you last night by the most dreadful yells, followed by the noise of violence, and on going to the end of the street, found an immense concourse of people collects' in front of Idosley's house. After an hour's crashing and shouting, every pal e of glass in the windows was broken and demolished. The news arrived in Derby of the Rejection of the Bill by 6 o'clock. Th e mo b have demolished the (tont of Mr. Hope's house, as well as the anti.reform baolueller, Bemrose, in the Market-pi ice : and have much injured Mr. Liken, the town-deft, as ru put his life in danger. The mob afterwards went to Mr. blundy's, at blarkeaton, and, I hear, have not only de. suoyed the glass, but injured his property materially. They afterwards went to Chaddesden, and committed the same injury to the property of the family of Wilmot. The dis turbances are still going on. The town goal has been sroken open, and a complete escape of the prisoners taken place, and /be mob are now attacking the county goal, which a small part of the police are defending: they hav e fir e d front the roof, and killed one man, and wounded several others. The postscript of another letter, dated at 4 p. m. adds:— The attack on the county goal for the present has failed, and the assailants have retired, with the loss of several killed and wounded. There were no military within the prison or in the immediate neighbourhood. It is expected that the attack will be renewed in the course of the night ; but as the post is now leaving, there le not tune to add more. I MEETING AT THZ 110TUNDA.— A great meeting was held last night of the working classes at the Rotunda, called together by friends of Mr. H to.t, whose object it was to lay ; before this portion of the London population, an address front the same classes at Blackburn, tele:live to Mr. I lutit'a return foe Preston ; to a proposition fur electing O'Ounitan Mahon, in place of Mr. Wood; and to obtain a county: , declaration on the saute subjects to the men of. Blackburn. I The announcement timed excited expectation, because it wail supposed that it had reference to time rejection of the Reform I Bill; but that subject was only incidentally glanced Mr. Hunt, on taking the chair, spoke fur two hours and twenty minutes in severe criticism of the measures of the %nag Atinduistratio.., expressing the mule leatherette which he :afterward* repeated in the House of Commons. He lbw vacated the chair to Mr. French, and the die cessions at the CAL of the lfbigs , were etneinued till a late hour. The Natio:till Union—a distinct body--whese excellent declaration we published yesterday, and which exp.esses its confidertee in a Patriot King and his 3liiiisters, have announced a fleeting of the Working Classes at the same place fur to-morrow evesin for the purpose of addressing his 3lujesty. The buildeng was crowded to seff 'cation, and there were more withuut than within. On leaving the Meet tag, Mr. litter was cheered. WU an attempt made to take the horses from his carriage, but opposed by the Police, which led to the only scale in that vicwity.
