He had no hesitation to sayiog that the forteatiou of this ode, was a grest step awards sandy asefel adorns. Corruption could net be removed in *as ammeat: if it Collo, they would ail meet with a greet number of mew`acquaintances But it wee asessiery for those who were in the canary to set out feet iessitadoes like this, which mast ultimately ream* the evil. • Betas gentleness stated that the peo ple did NM wish the ordinary mode of exercising the &dive free:hiss to be interfered with—that they teen evident to vote as their patrons pleased; but 'Lord J. Rested truly assertattbe coutraryt sad. in proof of his assertleo, iestanced the formation of this society. He deed mot slate, that if they bad a reform in Parliament, they weald sot at the present moment be burdened with Nailing army. whose being was as &Leprous to the liberties of the consitry as its military prowess was fatal to %lei hereof an seamy. Through it, the powerand ps tiortage of the Itlieistry were constantly augmenting. In Vfew years, that army had been increased from 70,000 to 280,00 men. Hers was a rapidity in the segmeatation of Goshen ef which many were not - aware. le addition to this, there was the patronage arising from taxes and tax-gatherers, from contracts and contractors, and from various other sources, all throwing into thebands of Mi nisters so Whosee of the most stupendous description. —(Applause.)—Neither could be omit the enormous pa tronage derived from our lodise territories, and from various other colonies and possessions. The immense patronage which the Crown derived from all these 'mums enabled Ministers to inflame a body of the people who ought to give their vette uprightly sad Looestly for the iteesit of the country sloes.—(A Waage.) —He seed Dot, on the other hand, urge what bad Moog been admitted, *tithe present represent taloa was lOW inadequate. He need not say, for all who bad *Au the &object must allow. that the Septennial Bill was a daegsroas innovation on the censtitution—that the (lager of the country, io consequence of an imperfect repreasetation, was rapidly increasing—and that the rate could not go oq prosperously, unless those abases were retnoved.—(Applause.)—These principles were settled and agreed cm, dyes In the time of Mr. Pitt, oho, as be had stated at the former meeting, de (Urea. that " there was a radical error in the repro *anted(); of the people, which reqsired a radical cure." Bet, whether it would be right to revert to I Par Esteems; *isobar 4 would be proper to have recourse to mistime swinge; sr whether it would he more prudent se adopt the views of those reformers who were la favour of trieasial Parliaments. sod who wished sassinforce the constitetioa, by getting rid of the dame horeoghs, he was not prepared to say; but, as the general advocate of reform. he had made up his wind to take the temperate rid safe path. rather than to rush tote any extreme.—(Very great applause.) He hoped that a reform of an efficient but temperate i desriptioo could be proposed by some gentlemes of consequence in the House of Commons. It would, be conceived, do much good ; because he was aware that the diversity of opinion on the subject of reform, which had divided the people hitherto, arose more from motives of a prudential nature as to the degree of re arm that would be wise and salutary. than from soy dissimilarity of feeling as to the swishy of a re form Is the representatioa. The question was, not nhether such and such doctrines were not 'maintain able is argument, bat whether or so it weed be ad viseable to bring them into practice.—(Great applause ) . Asd If it appeared highly improbable that such a plas es malty of the people wished could be usefully re duced to practice. whether, in that case. it would not be better for those who desired the most extensive reform, to wave some of their demauds, and to apply themselves to the procuring of a reform, less complete. perhaps. in theory, but certainly more easy of attainment; such a rior• as. when attained. would accomplish every object which' the people desired, by removing the abases under which the country laboured: wed 'etre diming a state of happiness sad contest is the place of Inierry and wvetchedness.—(Great applause.) Mr. J. le. Moons begged leave, likewise, to thank the Meeting for the honour which had bees conferred on him.

The one was a veteran is the cause of litr- Mu; the other, though not long in Parliament, gars, premiss of every tiling the people could wish.—(Ap; piams.)—He need scarcely add, that he elided to the Meeker' for Westminster, Sir F.

The CUAIRMAR said, he would next propose the Hva._ of a gentleman to whom the grateful thanks of the nation were justly dee_Joseph Hume, Esq. Drank with three times three, awl long continued applause. Mr- Visas begged leave, as the Chairman had pro posed the health of individuals who were absent, and could pot, therefore, return thanks, to introduce the abase of a gentleman who was present, and who, as a magistrate, a patriot, a friend, or a Chairman, might IS equalled, but could eat be surpassed. Without furthes preface, he would propose the health of Mr. Henry Ma 'diik worthy Chairman. Drank with three times three; and animated cheering. The CHAIRMAN said it was almost proverbial, that when a lawyer proposed say thing, whether small er great, be generally proposed miachief, and punishment fiollowed.—(Langhter.) His bon. Mud had sot falsillsd the proverb, since he bad punished blew (the ,chairman) by inflicting on him the penalty of espied, and be had punished the company hy compelling them to hear it.—(Laughter.) However, to be serious. **- thing could give him more sensible pleasure. that the reflection that he belonged to so timeliest an loathe. lion, except that which arose ft om a roarictios that it was going on admirably well. Various were the as aociatioss formed for various purposes. in this use ' • L • cating pungens. They bad societies for the Mese .alitaatiepof the Bible—societies fist lb.. sgetressiam of vice—and. strange to say, a seedily fa the liberty of the press. With, respect to the int, he would speak of it with the greatest respect; slue. in a Christian country. it was fit and proper that the dis• eemisation of the 'Scriptures Alma be encouraged. As to the second, whose object was the suppression of vice, la believed they meant well ; though be tinniest that they often " strained at gnats, and swallowed camels." They let the great delinquents escape+ while they were busy in catching the small fry. Than they would prosecute as old woman fur selling two pennyworth of gingerbread, er what was called Per liameat in his younger days ; but they would allow lett of another sort of Parliament tohe sold wholesale or retail without iuterferiog with those who carried on the tragic. Bat there was soother society to which one of the Hoe. Members for Reading (Mr. F. Palmer) bad alluded+ sad to which he (the Chairman) would now draw their emo tion. It was a society to support the religion and lop alty of the country. What would posterity think of this peered**, when they learsed that such a society had bees isetitated ? It was said, he believed by an Irish: man, that he would do nothing for posterity. because per elite bad done nothing fey him. Posterity would sit s however, be able to say that the present age had due nothing for them ; for we should leave them etch *debt as they would be able to repay.—(Laighter.)-e But if posterity should have reason to rue the reseal ;reiteration, they would have reason also to laugh at it What would they think, when they fund that is out days there were people who imagined or who pretended to imagine, that the religion of this country des fended their pious exertions? If they inquired who dime * sons were. they would fled that they consisted id antiquated dowagers, stale spinsters, stupid latln, qsakiag bishops, and designing lawyers, who had clubbed their pence, and traseferred them to the hands adusewreese—CabaU..... the eoteatey could not be supported without suds atm tillo it must he is a very bad state Welted. But it dorseial so such assistance, sad if those endow ladies sad demos really really wished to uphold morals, sad to ass& orate the condition of the people, they would dismiss their officers and servants, and make over their foods to that iestitation, the formation of which they were this day met to celebrate. hand of seeding Sharp, or say of their agents, to light with little Wad diegton in a box, they would place their Nosey in the box of this tasseled**, and by that pre eitediag effect all that they said they wish ed to effect.
