Iles great objection wm, that the evils were temporary and the restric.. two permanent. Distress, not disloyalty, was the cause of the discontent that prevailed, and he could out moment to measures of permanent liaishuess and restrictiou, alien he knew that an empty shiumili had led • great portion of the people to the comminution of those acts fur which they were now about to suffer. Mr. BROUGHAM regretted that indisposition left him little energy to meet the present qnest ion ; he still hoped to the indaleence of the House, while he replied to the speeches of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Castlereagh). and the Right Hon. Gentleman behind him (Ir. Peel). The Noble Lord was full of candour in t h e initialer in whieli lw Odom diced the present measure. He had told the people, nut of what be was about to lake twos them, but of whet in the form of privilege/ they 'sold 'I he Ntilate Lord both claimed their candour sod credit for not imposing a censorship on the press—for son at onse potting a public to the sword in a gnarls r of an hour after some spy *load , ' perttuarioissly n fore to quit a laical metliog, after his attendance is a Wringer seas discovered; and last, not least. fur tint absolutely smiting down the trial by jury. —(//ear, larar.',— floe Hon. Gentle man condemned in strung terms the power-slings of most a the iiubtic meetings that bad beets held throughout the couutey,' as they tended less to promote the cause of liberty than to furnish excuses for silt invasion on the reniatining rights of Englishmen. It had been said that some of tlw propositions put loath at those meetings were . absurd; ad mitting the fact, that was out a good reason for destroying the constitutiou. Alluding to the crime of training a n d drilling, it was, to said, already the law of the land that per sous fouled training so military exercise, unless fur innocent porpoises (and it was far theta to skew the innocency of these purposes), were guilty or a miseletneauur, and if they went a step further, they would be guilty of the luelieut tonne ktitoru to the law. Such was the 14w, hut if it was deficient in this respect, let it be remedied. The Pitt how. ever proposed, wan not a Bill against training, but a BM against the freedom of eliecussiou—a Bill against Liberty.— i Bill against the consittutton. The question was, first, if there woos cesium of public dmiger ; siteasielty, if Ililalle sites were best calculated to meet that dasuger ? The Noble Lord said that 'hose Bills ss • re constitutional—that they were Duly meant to purify piddle meetings—yet ; they would purify in the same way that tire purifies, by destroying. It was said that meetioge might be held if called by Sheriffs; bat after the experience they base had, it was riot to be expected that Sheriffs selected by the Crown would incur its displeasure by callnig public meetings of the people. Within the last tau months flu re were five refusals—Essex, Hama 'shire, Wiltshire, Cornwall, and Beekshire. Amongst the names who weir found to protest ariiust the ealltug of public meetings weer those of Lords Lieutenant of Countits, and Gentlemen intimately cousweleil stilb Coverument. lu the protest against the meeting at Southampton was the •ig mature of the Secretary of War, and also thet of a Cabiurt Al:niece—the Duke of Wellington. Grateful as be felt fur the high sersiices of his Grace, lie would wish to ate him its crease that debt by standing fur the liberties of his country. the Hon. gentleman next passed to an examination of she Bills luTure the noose, wlsoilt he said were severe, and were yet insufficient. They prohibited the people from amebae to ebecuse ma in Church and State, hut they did not prevent the people Isom meeting. They wight theu, temp if the Bill weir passed, inlet in large mist iablics—they might meet for any purpose Init {list of politaal discussion, and they could not be put down by the Bill. Ile con. sidered the Bill, therefore, extremely defective. If there ruuhi be II cause, Itl/WeVrf, suede out toe it lie, fur WWI, would lake a share of the responsibility. He cited nut how be might be imsrepreseuied—how he might be calorn. niated—he caged uut whether lie should be held nut as the first person who proposed the finite suppresasua of public meetings altogether, even at the inumeot when be was at temptiug to save Irons Menial ilestroction the remaining rights of his country. The law now proposed was excessive— war snesorahle—it wa. nu operate uoivereally, ausl it was to last fur titer. He would implore the 111/111W to pause Mfose they would agree in pitch a law ; he would implore th e m to eotosider Wl9lll au h nghahmao was—whit he ought to he. He togged of them not to leave it ill the looser of fo reigners to say, Ifoglssiosien at last have got tired of thew liberty—they have beco m e corru pt—they have become luxurious, and they have &some shaves—they have sacri ficed to their tnausdictures the Constitution of their mom- Isp—aast the liberty they inherited from their stable ancestors have perished in ago of degeneracy avid of shame.

Application was accordingly made for the payment of those expenses, and resisted by the Treasurer, un the ground that expenses were never granted to sny of the witneisrs aitem;ing the Assizes at Croydon ur Kingston ; but on a subsequent application, he declined giving any answer till he had taken the opiniuus of the Beiich of Magistrates at the Sessions on the question, who coaceiverl it One of such magnitude. that they did Out think themselves qualified to decide ott its merits; bet recimuntesiletl the Treasurer to persist iO his refusal till sued for the money. —Such of the constables as were interested laid there cases before the presiding Alderman, who mentioned the same to the Court, said from thence it was referred to the City collet. tur to file legal proeerdines against the Treasures of the County.

At the last Sessions, which concluded un Saturday, no ex penses were awarded, and it is rtimuurrd that a meeting of the inhabitants is shortly to take place, to consider the best meatus of akugither throwing out the county, and rendering the rates throughout the whole Borough recoverable by the City of London.
