Why not allow every men who paid taxes to have a tote t lie would not put a man to the trouble of losing three days in order to give his vote. He would have the electors at Abingdon and Birmingham to vote in those places respectively:. By this mesas the scenes of riot, dis order, drunkenness, and sometimes of perjury, which they too frequently witnessed at elections, would be avoided.— This by oome would be considered *bad plan. So it might. peas. however, his plan. He had said he was not without h plan of reform, and now time meeting had heard what it The worthy Gentleman concluded amidst loed cheering, by again con4ratulating the friend; of reform on having so nu merous and respectable a meeting, and by thanking theca for data attention with which they bad listened to him. Mr. 11. Marian (of Reading) next presented himself to the assembly, and was received with considerable applause. 'After the very able addresses which had been already de livered to the meeting.he was unwilling to tresspass long on their attention. His remarks, therefore, would be very brief. The subject, it was true, was now a thread- Imre one ; indeed, it was one of the arguments against its ititroilliction at all, that it was threadbare; but, as they admitted that the garment was almost worn out, let them give them (the reformers) a new one ; let them shave a change in the system, and they would be saris . fled. for they were aware it must 'be for the better. • )torroold perhaps be said to them, " W bat !do you want go make reformers of the farmers, now that times are bad, id that they cannot get a goad price for their corn ? .14 you want to bring them over by the prospect of high • lirices ?• De would answer, they wanted to do no such hings. They did not look to high prices as the result 'of refOrcs. They wanted, however, that removal of ;their burdens which would enable theta to cultivate and to sell at fair remunerating prices. (Hear.) They were ietOsh enough to wish, (and they were accused of bring tellist,) that those who were disposing of the public should be sent to Parliament, not merely fur, but hr. people. Clear.) It might be said to them, vioultitbry do away by their plans of reform with the in . Monica of rank and property, in the country ? By no means t under any reform, property would still have its `• just weight ; the possession of .great wealth, used as it ought, would continue to have its proper influence; but it would he begging the whole question to assume ' that beonuse they must have some, they ought to have smare than was consistent with the principles of the Con stitution. (Hear,) The noble lord who that day ho- .loured the meetiog with his presence and enlightened ,it by his eloquence, had that influence which might to attach to Lis rank, stapon and character; but brand his fuoily bad also borough Influence; hut of that influence ',he watt wilting to nial.e a sacrifice for the public good. ‘Cheers.) His lordship knew full well that a reform in torliament would not exclude the sons of the nobility Arcot seattin the House of Commons, if they possessed • abe talents to make them useful in the service of the .pithlie. Rut one of the evils arisingfrom the want of ,reform was, that we bad dolts and dandies sent into Par li*ment,uerely because they were sprigs of nobility. `They bad lately heard a great deal about the violation -of vested rights which would result from a reform: ." Do not tench Old Sarum," cried one—" !elms existed in its present state during the best days of the country. It is a• veined right of which you have no rig . htto deprive the possessor." But who, he asked again, gave the 'vested right in Old Sarmn.which neutralized the votes of the county of Wilts? But the great cry of the anti.reformers uttered by the mouth of their apostle, was "The system "works well," and the country has been carried through her difficulties under it. It was, indeed. trot., it did • work well, but how? It enabled the few to work the Money 'Mout of the pockets of the many.—(Applause.) It was to hint, as it most be to every reformer present, tit wares of great satisfactioo to see so numerous and ' • respeetehle an assemblage, quit that day fit the purpose vif fethlottlng: But St was lot the holding up their handminsupport of the petitiob of that day which would lie mitScierft. They must persevere. They bail power. fnl adversitrieS, to whom circumstances gave many ad .vantages.. They had nine points in their favour. they lad gut possession, aye, p ion of the stolen goods ; and it 'boobd be the business of reformers to imitate the oxamote of the poor widow with the unjust Jude—to worry them until justice was "done.—(('beers.) —They 'should nor cease to worry their adversaries until they had got the stolen goods out of their possession. Mr. MoNen (the member for Reading) came forward and was received with cheers. After what they had al ready heard on the important subject before them, he would not trouble them with many observations. He would only a,v , in addition to what bad been observed by the noble lord, that the situation of our represents tire system was very different in the present day from what it was tour centuries back.(the period which some of the anti reformers compared with the present.) Sines: she revolution,. we hail two most important changes in .the Commas !tense of Parliament. The first was the anion of Scoti-ind with this country. The next, theta ,Ireland. By the lift, forty-five Scottish members were ' sailed to the House of Commons. How the great ma jority of members were elected, was well known. •'.l* he wholeof the elections of the Scotch burghs was by corporations the members of which, in turn, elected each other. This system was so general, that an inch peoderit Member fora Scotch burgh was a rarity which 'hey seldom saw. It was exemplified in what took place in the borough of Montrose. The abuses there were • .so great, that a new charter woe given, by which the • franchise was somewhat extended. The consequence was that the electors returned an independent mao. They 'sent Mr. Hume to Parliament. From this tbeymight judge ea I.the effect which a reform would produce in Scotland. • The union of jrcland was the next great change to which lie • had alluded. By that Act 100 members were added to the .11euse of Commons. Bat how were they chosen 7 Some lands! prowietors had 30,000 or 40,000 persons on their vstatiekro whom they gape qualifications, in order to vote as they should be direeted; so that, in fact, It was not an but a nomination which generally took place in •thWleat6try. Scotland, and one kindred, such as they were, ;from Ireland, would it he said that the House of • Commons had ontiergone no change sizee the revolution 7 • He would not trouble the meeting far on this point. The petition which bad been read to them was, lie I lionglit, one of the beat that had ever been presented to :Parliament. Yet,. notwithstanding that its prayer would be rejected, still, however, we should not de spair. We mould still continue our efforts—still con • time to petition ; but we should do more. It was •necgigarsi that they should not only talk well, but • act 'Nell, awl let the action be suited to the word-. Let MI) not ha misunderstood. He did not recommend the use of physical force. He would not have the reformers attack the Horse Guards. There the Uo . vernmeat was invisible. But be would have them attack' the system where it was vulnerable. The only chance the people had of reform was, that the extravagance of 'Government had rendered it dependent upon them for 'its maintenance. The people had thus the means in •their power of putting an end to the extravagance, and ,the system together. This could be done by assts• cistiont in different parts of the country agreeing not to consume certain superiluous articles from which the Chancellor ofF.xchequer derived his greatest resource. This was, In his opinion, the only effectual means within their power. At present he would not develope sheplan farther. When this petition, as he was certain it wocild t shottfd be refused by the House, they would then assemble to deliberate upon what farther steps were to be taken. At that meeting he would explain t Lisfiself farther on the subject. He would show histo really the effects of such a remedy. He would prove 'that, denying ourselves a few ordinary gratifications. , - e THE ilifilittlMUN..; we might reduce the present resources of the Chancellor of the Exchequer from till to 10 or 12 millions, helloed then be their constant endeavour to urge their claims by the means he had pointed out, always beating in mind, that upon the success of their -efforts depended the sal vation of their Country from utter ruin. —(Cheers.) The question , was then put and agreed to; there being only two hands held up against it. ETSTON then moved, that the petition be signed . by the High Sheriff, on behalf of the meeting. This was put and Carried. Ile next moped, that the petition be declared—" A petition,• agreed to, with esely two dissentients, at a meeting of the downy of Berk;."—Aß reed to. Mr. F. PALMER said the squestion now was, byerbom should this petition be presented? Ile thought it could not be in better hands than in those of the county members, and therefore he would move that it be pre sented by their two representatives. This being put and agreed to, • Mr. Dystats cause forward.. The motion which bad just bean agreed to called him up, and he could assure the meeting that he would with great pleasure present the petition and support it by every means in Vs power. The mode which The freeholders of the county hail thus adopted of seeking relief would, he was satisfied, be found uhimately to be the most effectual. Had it been adopted and persevered in long ago, it would, he bad no doubt, have prevented many of the evils under which they laboured at the present day. • Mr. HALLETT next moved the thanks of the meeting to Lord Folkestone, for his unwearied vat in the cause of the people, and for his exertions in bringing about the present meeting.—Carried. • • On the motion of the same gentlentam thanks 'fr.re voted to the morerpind seconder oldie petition; also to the High Sheriff, for his readines in calling the tneetlog, and likewise for his impartial conduct in the chair. • LORD FOLKESTONE thanked the meeting for the very flattering manner in uhich they had noticed his tart.- tions in bringing about the meeting. His own opinion and •. feelings were very strong on the subject. Ile believed that the salvation of the country depended upon reform, and that if not speedily brought about, the greatest calamities would befal the nation. It had been objected to the reformers, that they who Wilt, conspi cuous in support of the measure were' impelled by the heat and ardour of youth, or urged on by factious motives, or influenced by a passion for notoriety. For his own part he would appeal to a life, not a short one, a great portion of It spent 'before ttie public, for the justice of site application. • lie had, as 1 1 was well known, had different opinions early in life. He was brought up in the belief, that the view of this question which he now took was erroneous, but as he advanced in life, the more he saw, *and the more he re-, fleeted, the greater reason had be to give up those early impressions—(Hear)—the more certainly was lie con vinced of the evil tendency of the measures which he had once approved. Mr. EYSTON and Mr. Bowurs (the mover and se conder of the petition) severally returned thanks for . the vote of the meeting in which they were included. Mr. BALLET again addressed the meeting, to mores PIA consequence of the Mayors of Reading having sometime! refused the use of the Hall for County IffeetinjW, that in future all the public meetings of the count),ft, 4 held at the Shire Hall, at Abingdon; but this motion, on the suggestion of Mr. H. Moral), was withdrawn. Mr. BUDD moved that the two members for Reading be requested to attend the county members in present ing the petition and supporting its prayer. 1 his was pot and carried. The Hunt Sunnier returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred on him. He then declared the meeting dissolved.

LONDON: TUESDAY EVENING, JANUART 29, 1823. M R. CANNING. ALAS! ALAS ! Just when we were expecting to have a trip to LIVERPOOL, in company with the Kiag of Bohemia, to enjoy the second edition of the two Red Lions, the intelligence arrives that the Right-Honoura ble personage has declined offering himself again to that pack of greedy place-hunting merchants, and their dependents. The reasons which he gives are quite satisfactory. He is afraid of afailure; and new (JATTON or SARESI, open your doors!

It is going to hold a "Special Meeting", upon most important and particular business: Aye, that it is. It is going to consider hoW it shall fled somebody else that is a good hand at getting places, and providing little w;ndfalls out of the public money. Mr. CANNING acts openly and fairly in this business. He tells the creeping creatures, in so many words, that it is much better for him not to try the thing, than to undergo that defeat of which be Is afraid. His words are these: "it is for bet " ter, both for you and for me, that the failure which 1 apprehend as too proloalte, should be prevented than remedied."—Yes, this is true enough : it is a great deal better not to go to LtvraVooi at all than to go there and be beaten, and then to jog into a Rotten Borough at last. A very wise step for once. As to who may be his suc cessor, that is a matter of =very little consequence. Any body else will do as well asle for LIVERPOOL.

TO LORD SCPPIELD. t . Kensington, Jan. 2d, 1823. liT LORD—In the IVo,:rvik chronicle, of the 2btb hnit. I see a report of a hole and corner meeting at North . Rrpingham. Your Lordship stands there reported as hiving said many things of me and of the petition of the: county of Norfolk, which are false. And, if uttered, mast have been uttered with malignarit motives. 1 have not time, at . present, to examine, point by point, the falsehoods here published under your name ; nor have I time to notice the inconsistency and the stupi dity of the resolutions ascribed to you. I will do this in due time ; and, if you did atter the speeeh that is ascribed to you. and have shame in you, ! will make you feel that shame, In the mean while, I beg you to read the letter of Mr. Arehdeacon IlaTncasr, published in the same newspaper. Tile Archdeacon takes a fair and imanly view of the matter. He calls upon you, as I call upon you, to call another county meeting ; and not to sneak about in hole: and corners, and backbite and revile him whom you know'you cannot auswer. In this repotted speech of your's, I find you blaming other per sons of consequence for not attending the Meeting. Why did not yeu attend ? I will tell you why you did not attend; because you knew that I was to be there ; and because you guessed that the Petition which I should propose would be carried in spite of you. Your pride; yourfalee pride, prevented you from attending; and you know now, that you DARE not call another County Miffing, and sufferfrce disoussiox to take place. My grandmother told me, 6, pride will have - a fall;" and your pride will hare afall, before many years are over your head; that is to say, if you be the real author of the speech that I have referred to, and if the rest of your order have not a great deal more of wisdom than you hoe.

It is said that the Russian troops in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and the March of Branden burgh, will come into the Rhenish provinces, and that the troops now in those provinces will have another destination. Paris papers to the 26th inst. brought no intelligence that could be depended on, except of the rise in the French funds on Saturday. This rise is supposed to be owing to an article which first appeared in the Journal !iles Debuts, and afterwards copied into the .11oniteur, reproving the Ultra Jou:s.als for having represented as settled, measures which were still under consideration, and as " accomplished," events which were still " in obeyanee," and in which a thousand circumstances might occur to make important modifications.

SHAITING.—The amateurs of this healthful exercise had another great Match on the Maze Lake, Herts, on Saturday last. The first match was for a sweepstakes sliver bowl, value 23 sovereigns, between the fallowing Gentlemen Messrs. Ilarevrood, Blenkensop, Hayward, Rogers, an 4 Smithson. The match took place round a half mile circle, and the distance to be completed was five miles. Tha skaiters went off in fine style on the outside of the half mile boundaries affixed by weights. The first half mile was done by Mr. Rogers In two minutes and a second. Ile was passed in the second by Messrs. Blenkensop and Smithson. Mr. Ilayward fell at the commencement of the third mite, and gave in; and Mr. Rogers was beat soon after; Mr, Harewood who had evidently reserved his powers shot a head at the end of the fourth mile, and the race was between him and Mr. Blenkensop. It was a fine struggle in this last mile, and was won by ;dr. Blenkensop in IV minutes and. 37 seconds. The ice was not so good u on the preceding Saturday, when some matches took place, the snow havins adhered to it in part. Another match of a mile took place between Capt. Smith and Mr. Jenkins, for a rump and dozen for the skaiters. It was a good race, and won by Mr. Smith in 3 minutes and 2 second,‘ The Spanish Consist residing at Ancona had been recalled to Madrid. This was thought to be in cense quence of the notice received by the Spanish Ambassa dor destined for Rome, that he would not be received by his Holiness. An lonian vessel had arrived at An cone with the Greek Primate Paleopetron, Archbishop of Pores. He had with him a Deacon, several Priests and other attendants; and. also the son of Pietro Bey Chief of blaina. 'ibis Deputation was said to be coin missioned to treat at Rome about the union of thetireelc and Latin Churches, and to solicit the protection and mediation of his Holiness against the Turks. It is generally understood that Mr. HOSKIStON means to offer himself as the successor of the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. CANNING), and certainly it would nut be easy to find one better calculated to watch over awl promote the important commercial interests of the town of Liverpool.—(Cottrier ) YORK COUNTY MEETING —We hear (says the Leeds Mercury) that some counter proceeding is to be set on foot by that puty who so ifctllantcy and sr-patriotically supported the Tory Member at York, on `Wednesday; but we have not been informed what hole or corner this adverse measure is to emanate from. nor is it a subject of much solicitude. The men who dare not openly meet their fellow countrymen on " the grand area" of political discussion, appointed by the first public finc• tionary of the country, will not be thought entitled to much attention either by Parliament or by the people.
