He found mole to ad s ueate that motion. Bur a reeolntion n-as agreed to, that in honer the slims collected should be paid in every two months.

What were his principles?—(.p. planar.) —lle had originally come forward on the strength of the aristocrary, or nattier of the rats ; he had next turned on his pivot, and become a Whig; he was now gone back again to the Tories. The lieu. Baronet was the last man upon earth he should bare expected to ap pear a candidate for their suffrages. But a mure honour able man than Mr. Calvert did not exist.—(lfreat a f t. plause.)--Huring two Parliaments he hail been their Representative, and faithfully supported their constitn• tional rights. He now proposed him for sine of their Rep u tati ves.—(Chaers.) Et.t.is seconded the nomination of Mr. Calvert, as an hottest, attentive, independent Member of Par liament.

He wanted every county and town in the kingdom to have as much share in the representation as they (the electors of Southwark) hall. Ile wanted representatives to be returned free ofespense. Ile wanted every wan who paid taxes to have a vote.—(tireat ap planse.)—He did not think the opposition of the Hon. Baronet would live one week.—(Applause.) Mr. WZATNitirruXX said, that it was impossible for them to find a fitter Representative than his worthy and gallant friend (Sir Robert Wilson). If, during tile 'A months he bad been in Parliament, his conduct had not given satisfaction,. let those who disapproved of it speak. —{Shouts of applause.)--On all ureasimos he hail been the friend of the people, and the roomer of corruption. With corruption lie hail grappled with all his talents and all his forre.—(Applanse.)—Parliamentary Reform VIM making gigantic strides, and Sir Robert Wilson was its ardent frienol.—(4 . plaase.)—At thelastleetion, Southwark had given an impetus to the whole king. doom ; the cities of London and Westminster had followed their example. He looped they would „wire a similar Im petus upon this occasion. He begged leave to propose Sir Robert Wilson fur one of the Representotives.— (Oreat applause.) Mr. If itcucocx could not conceive what object the worthy Baronet had in the opposition now offered. They bad two Representatives who represented the elec tors in tub,: formerly they had been neutralized; but in the last Parliament they hail been fairly represented. He hoped the electors of Southwark would do their duty. He concluded by seconding the nomination of Sir Robert Wilson. Sir Ronsmor Wit.sox was received with long and con tinned shouts of applause.-1 was now nearly two years since he had first appeared before them. lie had been then comparatively a stranger, and could only make pro fessions to them. They had been pleased to give him credit for sincerity in those professions. He could now appeal to his fidelity in redeeming the pledges he hail given. —(lireat applause.)—The various testimonies of approbation which they had bestowed upon him since he because their Representative, the reception he hail met with during his canvass, and the flattering approba tion with which they had now heard his nomination, showed that they did not consider the trust reposed in him as either neglected or betrayed.—(Apolause.)—lle hail not given one vote that hail not been it, nnison with their feelings, and in support of the hest /hermits of the country. What would tory he their sensation if they had returned Members who would not have done justice to their sentiments ? What a load of guilty responsibi lity to their fellow-citixens must they have felt ? He would shortly mention the measures to which they would have consented by such Representatives. When lie had gone into the House of Commons, he found the table daily loaded by petiti for * fresh Corn Bill. What did Sonthwark do upon that occasion ? He beg Fed always to speak of his honourable colleague as having wnifiirmly supported and opposed the same measures with him ; they grappled with those petitions, anal theil petitions were cast ant as they merited. Was there no intention now of renewing the same attempt ? Ik pledged himself that there was. lie now had in his !pocket • letter, requesting his support ; but lie replied, that while he admitted the distresses of the aricultu- Mists, he thought a Corn Bill a wrong remedy; tlre • real remedy would be ilimunition of rents, and a retitle ' lion of taxes; and as a reduction of taxes would be bene ficial to the community, he and his colleague would stop port i t.—(A pplaitse.) —The next question WAS the Foreign Enlistment Hill, which went to support the most odious species of tyranny of the most execrable Government that ever existed, anal tended to kindle the Haines of po litical animosity. It had, however, been so far ren dered nugatory, that, by the aid of British soldiers and seamen, the independence of South America was made sur e , sal Spain was advancing to support the cause of freedom in tier colonies. There was next a Bill impos ing three millions of fresh taxes. In a case which he hail supposed they could have had the guilt of aggravat ing the miseries of a suffering people—of a people who. by thousands and tens of thousands, petitioned for ba nishment in order to escape from suffering.—(Applause.) —The next subject was the most important which could be discussed—he meant a reform in the House of com mons ; which their Representatives, instead of doing every thing in their power to prevent, hail an every oc casion solyneated. 'this question he considered as para mono' to all others: other questions were only import ant as aiding and promoting it. It would he asked, what was the charm, by whirls reform would remove all their discontent, * pi! make this a happy an d • prosperous coniqy He answered, by rendering th e Gui t ar of t i onimons the organ of the people s will, representing their intelligence, and posssess the power which their consequence would give.—(Applanse.) —Suppose the same scene were going on in every part of England which appeared now among them, would they not feel confidence in the wisdom and infinity of the Members chosen? But, of 658 Members, 407 were re turned by the patrons of boroughs, who were at that moment hargaining, hot according to the principles of Whigs or Tories, but respecting the money that would ;laid fora seat. Seventy-six of the Members received !MAO/. a year of the public money. These were es :Faired as harks in the Parliamentary stable, and were teddy to obey the Parliamentary whip.—(Applause.)-- In the remark lie was now about to make, lie did not al lude to the Hon. Baronet near him. The Baronet had been arraigned, and must snake lib defence ; hut he had heard grave legislators propose, as a remedy for all their grievances —wheat? Not that theyshould hems& unlearned, for that was not practicable, hut that they should learn no more; that their children should never acquire the power of knowing right or wrong; and that little horn books, anal gingerbread A, 11, C's, should be put down as sediti s. Such was the remedy proposed by those who resisted the intention and course of Provideitee; for Providence would have men to be educated, in order to be just; and free, in order to be happy. When she poet had said— ., Where Ignorance is bliss. "*Tts folly to be 14e." lie did not mean to say that to be a blockhead was a receipt for happiness. But, when he supported reform, he meant a rational, serious, and sincere reform, which would afford no ground of apprehension—a tertian, ex tending the elective franchise to all who pay taxes, abo lishing rotten boroughs, and shortening the duration of Parliament.—(Applanse.)—They cool& not have a bet ter proof of the necessity of shortening the duration of Parliament than the present General Election.
