LONDON. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 4, Itll9. The Bill introduced into the House of Lords by the LORD CHANCELLOR for expediting the trials of persons accused of misdemeanors, was read last night a second time. The object of this Bill is to comnel, the accused to plead within a certain num. ber of days, not yet specitird. it most, we think, be generally admitted by every dispassi )))) ute man, that the time hitherto given to defendants to int purl reqiiireJ to be curtailed by the inteifesence of the Legi.lattire. We hope. however, that the Learned Lord on the Woolsack will not, in propos ing to comet the evil, run into the contrary ex treme, but allow a reasonable time for preparing the means, and considering the mode of defence. The Search for Arms Bill, nod the Bill for pre. ventiog and Training, severally went through Committees. In the House of Commons, the Bill for prevent ing Seditious Meetings was committed, and the blanks were filled up ; but for the convenience of the House, it was ordered to be re-committed on Monday next, when the provisions of the Bill will he separately discussed. A clause will then be proposed by Mr. Ttuttswr for rendering the Bill temporary. The Bill for subjecting certain publi cations to a stamp duly was brought in lot night, and read a first time. We certainly cannot con cur with those Gentlemen who arraign the princi ples of this measure, fur we conceive it to be an act of justice to the regular Newspapers, who are sub ject to a very heavy tax. In the course of the evening Mr. LAMBTON took an opportunity of noticing the statement made on the previous night, in the House of Lords, by the Euil of STRATHMORE, respecting the number of persons on the banks of the Tyne who were ready to rise in open rebellion against the Government. The Hon. Member declared, that from the most minute inquiries which he had caused to be made, and from his own personal observation, he was per suaded that the intelligence conveyed to the Noble Earl, and on w!uch he made the communication to the House of Lords, was not authentic. This con tradiction having come to the knowledge of Lord STRATHMORE previous to the rising of the Upper House, the Noble Lord trot only repeated his former statement, but added, upon the authority of letters received yesterday morning, that the danger was even much greater than lie had repre sented it ripoti the former occasion. The Noble Lord ■nd Mr. LAMITON are at issue upuu skis point. The time limited by the Act of Union for the continuance of certain duties, framed for the pro. tection of the manufactures of Ireland, being nearly expired, great apprehensions have been felt by the Irish manufacturers, ■nd, indeed, by all classes of persons in the sister island, lest the cessation of those duties may increase the distresses that already too generally prevail in their unhappy country. Their fears, however, upon this point were last night satisfactorily removed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who stated the opinion of the PRINCE REGENT'S Government, that these duties should not expire at the time prescribed in the Act of Union. We applaud the wi•domn of this deter • initiation, for it is certain, that whatever may ab. stractedly be the policy of maintaining ditties upon the transfer of articles of commerce from one part of an empire to another, there can be no (peti tion that a time of deep and general distress is not a fit season for effecting great and extensive alterations, which must, in their consequence*, involve the immediate interests, perhaps the very existence of many hundred families. The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain the King of Fits:set', Speech to the Legislative Chambers on Monday last, when his Majesty opened the Session in person. It presents a favourable picture of the internal condition at France with regard to the improvement of agriculture, com merce, and the arts, the increasing prosperity of the country, and the flourishiug state of the reliance.. The revenue so fa► exceeds the expenditure as to permit the annual ap pliestion of large sums to the discharge of the public debts, arid even justifies a hope of the speedy diminu tion of the individual burdens of the people. His Ma jesly expresses a desire, so (Jr to alter the Constitu. lieu of the Chamber of Deputies, as to repeal the present practice of partial renewsk in every successive year of the Chamber, and to " ensure it a duration more conformable to the existence of pishlie order." The King feels himself sufficiently strung to exercise mercy towards the exiles, and we find a long last in these impels, (lithe persons who bad been banished and are now permitted to returns.

At the Coburg theatre last night, during the performance of Mr. MoNcatEFF's very successful novelty, Beatify and the Beast, Mr. H. K tome, in the part of the. Claud King, was so forcible in his repalson of the Merchant Scanderbeg (Mr. HUNTLEY), that he actually precipitated him into the orchestra. The audience, together with the sons of Orpheus, were at first greatly alarmed at the in trusion, but when they saw the Clara King ami cably assist his adversary from the regions of har mony to those boards he had so suddenly quitted, their repeated cheers convinced their old favourite that he bad only fallen to rise again. It is conjectured that the Radicals purpose to embrace the religion of Mahomet. They already begin to look upon a bottle of wine with all the horror of true believers.

BRIGHTON, DECEMBER 2.—A most singular and novel procedure is going ou in this town. It will he recollected that about a fortnight ago the mutilated statue of the I REGENT was pulled down as disgrace to the inhabit:intr. After it was removed, a meeting of respectable persons was held for the purpose of erec.ing a splendid statue in honour of the illustrious Patron of Brighton ; a spirited sub scription commenced, rod the most patt.litic exer tions were manifested. The Nobility and Gentry were invited to aid the subscription, iiistead of which, they have felt so aggrieved in not having the . honour of being its first promoters, that they have signed a requisition for a public !sleeting to-morrow, in order to consider the propriety of their having the honour of erecting another statue of his Royal Highness.

CUBBATT'S RETURN. CROWN AND ANCHOR TAVERN. Yesterday the friends of M►. Colibett met at this Tavern. according to iirrvtons adv. infrequent, to welcome his return to Hoehn& Tables we►e laid for eso guests. but as the hour of dinner drew near, a *whirl' and considerable inc►rase of comm. pony made it neces►ary to extend the tables the whole length of the room. and carts Of them was filled up as fast as they 4 04161 he made ready. A little afier live the dinner win, srrved rip, upon which the Chairman (11r. billowed iinme diately by Mr. Cobbett, Htitl attended lay the Stewards, entered the room, and took their seat., The curiosity of the c 111 l ir.iny to view the extraor dinary author of •the cheap Ifcgister was intense. The d r was neglected for a considerable time, while the guests were standing on the forms straits. ing forfora look over one another's shoolders, and shakiog the ceiling with their congratulatory shouts. At leng•h they fell to, dinner was speedily dispatched, the cloth was clearest, the water bottles filled, and the Chairman mounted the table. He craved indulgence for a few, a verb few mi.. outer, while lie explained the circumstances by which the foreleg itart been called. A more nu merous limirnsblage of liberal and independent men had never been known' in Xli'estiiiiiiater. The oh ject of it was to welcome the return of their fellow. citizen, Mr. Cobbett, after an rile-encr of two years from hie native conntry.—(This was followed by what the players cull fluff distinct rounds of op pluuse.l—lt was his pleasant duty to detail lo them what took place respecting its arrangements, pre vious to that, the day of meeting. The thought commenced with himself, as every thing must have an isedividual beginning; lie mentioned it to reverel of the citizens of Wertminster ; they approved of the project ; a meeting was culled by au udvertise mein. which they must have iead, awl upwards of 40 persons, before unknown to each other, imme diately offered to co-operate us stewards. The usual customs had been btudiotoly avoided—no personal iuvitstions had been given—no tickets be stowed gratuitously—no singers our musicians hired—every thing they saw uround them was the effect of the feelitigs entertained by the company —except iu Mr. Cobbeit's case, there was nut a single ticket given away. Au invitation had been forwarded to Mr. Cobbett, at Liverpool, but it had not reached him till his arrival in London on the morning of the slay previous. fie imme diately accepted it, but the time was too short for touch preparation, notwithstanding which, nearly five hundred persons were turned away, who had applied for tickets that day at the bar of the tavern. He knew they would not blame the stewards fur not letting up more company than could be commintionslv entertained. They were not assembled like former meetings of the kind which had been held in that room, where there had been promises that Members of Parliatnent would attend, and iuvitations had been given to meet them, and after all no such thing had taken place. The straight-forward course of advertisement was the only measure which had been used to bring them together ; and as it was the highest compli ment to Mr. Cobbett, so was it also to themselves, to come forward thus from spontaneous impulse.— They were all plain and sincere men ; uo persons of reuk ; all lions among what were termed " the lower orders." It gave him great pleasure to oh scree the company; he scarcely saw a single bottle of wine in the room ; (there were indeed not a dozen on all the tables.)—(Great applause.)— This, as it prevented them from clouding their un derstandings, would prolong the enjoyment of the pleasantry with which they set out. They could not afterwards he charged with drunkenness and reeling home ; they were indeed about to enjoy " the feast of reason and the flow of soul." He would give them a toast, awl us they were in nu danger of getting drunk, he would recommend them to Fledge earnestly— _ . • „ " The Cunsiiiutiou of Endland. eon o i 000 ng of King, Lords, and a House of Commune chosen by the unbiassed voices of she whole people." This was drank with acclamations, and speedily followed by " May the wrongs of the growly injoireJ awl suffering people of Great Britain be productive of union, courage, anti perseverance." Mr. Wooler now came from the bottom of the room, and was introduced formally to Mr. Cobbett, by the Chairman. The company shouted as these Gentlemen shook hands. The CHAIRMAN then said, that they had wit. nessed the realization of the toast in the example of union just exhibited before theru.—(Applanse.)— With such en union the Radicals might defy the whole world.—(Applaese.j—He should feel the greatest delight in proposing to them the health of that Gentleman whom they had assembled to meet, and who hid returned to settle for good in his native country. He hoped they would allow him, however, first to say a few words on the subject. That great man had returned after having been driven from this country by a corrupt, rapacious, and most intoler. able host of Borouglonougers; he had been driven away for advocating the liberties of his country, and his crime had been that he had done it ably. They (the meeting) were the third body who had tendered hits their congratulations. At Liverpool, though one of the most corrupt holes fur borough influence in the kingdom, lie had been welcomed by almost universal acclamation. The enlightened Reformers of Manchester intended next to have addressed him. The Ir•roughreeves of Manchester interfered, and paid him the highest honour in their gift, by calling out hosts of b0r...., foot, anti artillery, to prevent the profile Ir 11) expres. sing their regard for him.—((:rent At Coventry lie received those yes which had been prevented at Manchester. And yesterday morning he accepted the invitation of Wesioniuster, be that note which they had s e en published. He (Mr. Hunt) knew that lie should weakenthe sub ject if lie said one word of the talents or merits of the individual lie was about to !impose to them, more than the stewards lied directed to accompany the toast.

He should therefore not trouble himself with replying to the writings which The Times, Courier, and other Papers had published to his disadvantage. He had some site of the same kind to answer for, which he had com mitted when he was younger and less experienced, and as they were not very old. he hoped tat that they might mend, and that he should live loser the day when they would acknowledge that they had done him injury. He could not but be struck with the great difference iif the canoe of Re form now and before he left England, t en years ago. The term Radical had been late ly oddest to Reform, mid it was applied as if Ra dical Reform implied a destruction of the Con stitution. So far, the case was quite new. At that time, to be a reformer at all was had enough ; now, though reform by itself had become a We more tolerable. Radical Reformer, were .‘ devil. sit hell." l'his was very strange. The reformer. had not altered; they used the same language at the time the Dungeon Bills were passed. Ile had marked the rise of the term Radical, while he was in America, and he was cement that it was proof of n great alteration its the state of the question of Reform ; it was evidence of itself, that one class of Boroughmongers were now incline (1 to grant something to the demands fur reform. — Now he, for one, insisted on the necessity of ask ing for the whole until the Boroughmongers should state what they were inclined to give. They kept saying to the reformer% "You go so far—Hunt goes so far." Why. surely, if a debt were doe would they uot. demand the full amount ? If the debtor could not pay, or thought the amount unreasonable, why then a compromise might take !dace. but it was his duty to propose it. Tie reformers lithl laws and ancient usage, and constitutional decla rations, and grave and wise opinions on their side ; yet the reply to all was, " You go too far."—(Ap ploose.)—He repeated, that the Borouohirionge(4 ought to make the proposal as to what they would be disposed to surrender of the people's right% or the people should continue to isastet on the re storation of the whole; whether they could take leas or not. they should demand all. This woo the only way by which they could have the sup !Hirt of the Nautili part of the people; he called on the little junto who were inclined to conces sion, lie recommended Mr. iVaithman, sod others like him, to take notice that the people could be gained only by demanding the whole. What but this had called up 40,000 Reformers in Lan cashire ? The Whigs were putting forth sonic pre tences to the confidence of the people by iirofeeiaiog their willingness to concede. But they assumed that all right must be vested in property, opposing it to the people. The people had the majoirty ef numbers; they had the grace to confess that; but they had the majority of property—as if there could be 'so pro perty but trees and houses, fields and bricks and mortar. Were they content to take the t.exis isi thst way ? wan it any answer to a collector to say. " There, go and ask my trees and homes for pay meat ?" He did not find it so; it was a mistake altogether. Were the mete of property, as they termed themselves, alone answerable for the charge+ of the State ? No; nine -tenths, nay, totiety nine hundredths of the expenditure were furnished by the people, as they were debasingly termed. Again, the State was upheld by two tneims—risoitty and arms. He had shewn that the first was petit, by the people; the burden also of the second fell upon them ; they had to endanger their bodies to de fend the State, when it was said to be in danger. It was not a little hard that they were compelled to defetid a state, in which they were so dustily told that they had no interest whatever, !le did tint presume to inform the compaily by his obser vation.; he was only replying to the itupradent avowals of their adversaries. As to the exact duration of the public oppressious, or the proper remedy for the people to apply to them, lie could hardly determine. He was convinced. however, that so lung as they could carry 041 the funding system, and no longer, would Ministers be able to lengthen out their grievances.
