A successful suspension of public meetings would conspirer, if any thing here wanted to complete, the object of Ministers. They knew fell well that such tow ing. kept alive the freedom of thought and inter. ernansunication among the people. which must in the end have the effect of producing free end sub stantial happiness.--(Applesse.)---The worthy Baronet then called the attention of the meeting to a small pamphlet. lately published. called " Guide to Me Electors of Great Britain," on the conduct to be pursued by the people at the elec. lions, consequent upon the new accession to the throne. This was a valuable little tract, sod which contained in • small compass a great ileal of very im portant matter. The people would see Irons this pamphlet. on the authority of usidoubted docis men's, the amount of public money. which (wand its way born the pockets of the people, into the pockets of those who falsely styled themselves their Representatires—(opplanse.)—So that they would bee from this statement, that in the mete propor tions alk their own pockets were exhausted, those of their Representatives. as they were miscalled, be came filled. The writer of the pamphlet, who was evidently a man of great talent and business, was. actuated however by the mistaken view of itiotigati ipp the electors of the empire at large to return basil men to the new Parliament as would effectusly cohtrol the public expenditure, and deserve the title of being, as they ought to be, the givrtlians, not the cut-purses of the wealth of the State.— (applause.)—The writer hoped that the people would return such Member. to the ne* Parliament as would maintain the constitutional character of Englishmen. The writer was quite m waken, tisowithetauding the ability he displayed upon the occasion, if he supposed that any persons, according to the present plan of *endive hlens• hers to Parliament, could work this wonder.— It was. astonishing that with so much ability and penetration upon the present state of the countr l , hi should have such a film before his eyes on this prospect of good from the new elections, when to such a mom tt must be notorious, to use the plume uttered in the House of Commons, as uutnrious as the sun in noon day, that the very source of all the tVII was in the corruption of the House of Com- Mona—that corruption which he in the pamphlet so ably exposed.—(applause.)—lt was astoisish- Mgt that with such a sense of t.e evil. be should propose so inadequate a remedy as the hope tie urged from the result of the pending elections. What the people c implained of could not be re medied by the new elections. What they com plained of was, on the contrary, that there were so lea electurs.—(theers.)—To hope that with such a Isinitud number of electors any thing could be done ass the new returns to Parliament, was just as futile as to expect that a few drops of fresh water thrown into the sea, would make the wide ocean fresh. The one was just as possible as the other. Indeed, accord ias to the present system, it was clear nothing could melee incorruptible that which was in its stature so corruptible as the is Ate of sending lembers to Parliament. Where inetes private riterests were found at variance with heir public diatie•, • hat could possibly be expected The writer of use pamph let stated an important fact, which it was pro per fur him to mention. Ile stated that within a pericd so comparatively short in the range of his tory as the commencement of the reign of the late King George 111. the whole of the taxes raised to pay the interest of the public debt, amounted to a.ada,673/., whereas now fur the very collection &dose of the taxes, no less a sum than 4,283,605)1. war actually paid.—( Hear, hear, hear.)—lf the liaison were to go on in this way, it must ulti mately be plunged into the gulf of ruin. What buss was to be done to save the people. when more over the whole of this large sum of money, rung from the impoverished pockets of the people, went at ours into the hands of Ministers, their relatives, slid dependants.—(t ries of "Shatme."l—Wsth all this. there was the monstrous addition of the East Lathan Company's establishment. Their Indian respite was rendered another engine of corruption to press upon the country. There wss nothing to atone to them for the corruption of which this Indian dominion was the additional source; and he Mai firmly convinced, that if the account were re duced to a mere pecuniary calculation, with a debtor and credit side. it would be found that Eur ! land was no gainer by the possession of the Eastern ' empire she had under her control, and that the ' e unrxion only sided the corrupt internee at house to undermining the cuustitutioa, sod prstrisaisig the liberties of the people. Such was at least his ..passion of it.---/Applause.)—The MOWS . by which the House of Commons bad been corrupted, were out to be mixed up with that which was formerly so much talked of, viz. the lawful prerogative end patroisage of the Crown. Of the latter he had sever beets afraid, and this he sow avowed in the presence of the largest and most enlightened assent- Lly of Iris counts, anew.—(Applease.)—He avowed that by Ilse' culmination the executive government ...as placed in the bends of the Crews, and that its p:erogative unlit to be supported Of far as the laws of that constitution permitted.—(Cries rf Lear, hear.)—The Crown then might to have ism prerogative, but so also ought the people their right.—/ Loud cheers)—rights indeed which uo lasmoumble or just man could ever coasted. fur they were simply and einviivecally reduced to Leis plain privilege. of uut tieing robbed of their property, without the commit of their own freely els Olen Representatives.

It delail:d the testable traissoction of ion% which proclaimed the corruption 9 1 the House Or Commons to be as 11011360111$ as the sun at noon day. It appeared io evidence before Parliament et that time. that Lord Castlereagh, the Pointe Minister, did actually barter with those who had East Indio patronage at their disposal. fur a seat on Pathologist for the pre sent Earl of Clancarty. who was then • Commoner. Lord Archibald Hamilton brought the subject be fore the House of Commons. The charge was ad mitted by Lord Castlereogh to be strictly true, and the practice was with effrontery defended and justi fied on account of its notoriety. This notoriety absolved the offender, and there was amend of the bu•ineeea. So much for the moietys of this able and intererieopsamphlet, which he would recoils. mend to every Eioglishonais who had • stake in the happiness acid freedom of the people. With respect to the colleogue they hail returned with him to the last Parliament, he begged, without any political acrimony, to say a few woods. those he would utter without any feeling riosio l I mol ai, 3f , on sh e contrasy, he had the mimeo personal regard fur Mr. Lamb. He would refrain from any thing like po. tiniest acrimony on the 'argent occasion, but he roust disag•ee altogether from some of the opinions expressed by Mr. Lomb in Parliament. He could not think with him, that, until the question of Re. form had of late beets taken up to Parliament, it holed rather retrograded in its importance. Ho (sir Franci►) would, on the contrary, say. that whatever lead been the fate of Reform to the 'louse of Commons. it had still advanced in the minds of the people.--(lkae, hear, hear.) —The clear proof of this was pailpaltle, for what elm but the advance of the importance of this que.tiee in the public mind, made she mock representatives of the people throw off the mask, •sod have recourse at once to violence to repress the general sentiment. —(4pplusise.)—H.l firm. Colleague had done Ilea the honour (ate honour to which, however. he could soot presume to lay any claim), of placing him at the head of the advocates of Reform, while at the same time he stated that before l'arliaiueut lent so ear to the question. it was rather, to use a military phrase. keeping time with the feet, than advancing in any measure of prospective success. r -(Cries of "N. f')—Ao obaersatiou of such • nature from • Gentleman deputed to be his Colleague, was cer tainly rather ■ discouraging way of giving support to his motion. He had a great objection to this sort of assiatanse 011 so great and vital • subject. Mr. Lamb bad indeed avowed, that wherever he found a borough detected of corruption, he should vote for its disfranchisement. Detected! why wait for detected cams ? were not the sindetected the most glaring ? It was idle to talk of punialiing an isolated detection of a case of guilt, where Out ■ single individual perhaps in that (louse, which so loudly talked of punishiug it, could be found who had not himself been guilty (sued tuauy of theta over and over again) of the very saws offence. There was no mate in that House who had a right to throw the first stosee.—(Hear, Awar.)—lt was the undetected, the legally not proved guilt of which he complained, and which constantly usurped the public rights.—(applasise.)—lt was the. abused power which ought, if properly exercised. to be alone derived Guns the people, that was kept in • constant state of clashing with their best iuterests. It was this that was the ready instrument to Woo der and oppress them.—(apploese.)—lbis colleague had said in Parliament, using a French. or rattier • had word, that he did nut think Reknit& would be a panacea for all their grievances; lie that there would still be many minute grievances, and many which might now be ameuoled without delay. Nnw he (Sir Francis) would repent his opi. nion, that Parliamentary Reform ism the only direct cure for every or fur any grievance:. It was the first and only effectual step to apply to soy cure—with. out it they might go to work as the tinkers were said to proceed, that was, to make two holes while they were employed to mend osie.—(LuagAter dad applause.)—To hope for ally relief fur the people without beginning with • Reform in Parliament. was idle and futile; without that, in vain would au angel descend. and attempt the task with all the music of the spheres—in vain would any attempt be made wish the ►lightest chance of success to stop the infuse( a torrent which poured upon them so rapidly. While • system of corruption prevailed which grade one set of men thri►e, while smother grew miserable. all hope of suielioratiou was ridi culous.

How any wan could moms, that any system, which gave voids. went from the highest down tar the lowest retainers of Government. would be suaterielly altered by the patrons it upheld, was to him a mystery, and he owned exited his utter astounshotent.

From one instance they might judge of the whole. There was a Mr. Ward — l ,o coke ezcluimed, " He it a brother-in./ate of • Lord Castlereagh")— oho in 1806 received a vetosios of 1,11001. a year, to superannuate him in the office be held. Ile was then 36 years of age, and of course it had become necessary to superannuate him. But it series he gut married to • Noble itlinister's sister, and it was the leoly of course, who, contrary to the general practice of her sex, wished to have her husband sup eratinuated.—(Sourehody called out that Me Lady had a peNsioN elm: a hesagh)—lie appealed to the electors of Westinioster, as an honest jury, to know what was their opinion of such acts. He knew those whom he had now the honour to address were honest ; he hoped lee would have an equally just jury in a few days, when his trial came on at Leicester.—( Loud cheers.) —The electors of West. minster would, he confidently trusted, set now, as they had so often done, a good example to their country. Let them illustrate by their conduct in this election, their paramount sense of the import ance of No slfeetual, essential, radical reform—re• diced in every sense, fur lie would repeat no other word, which would root out the corruption of the House of Cuinenons.—(Cheers, sad cries of "Bravo !")- 4 4 1 core not." exclaimed the worthy Baronet, 61 to what particular extent the right of suffrage is to go, so a real reform shall take place-..t0 me it is • matter of comparative in. difference whether the right of voting be con• fined to igen of twenty-one or of thirty years of age. I care not where the line is drawn ; nay, I have no hesitation in saying. that if the right of voting was equally diffused throughout the country, among all men possessing 1001. per annum, a com plete, radical, sod eff.ctual serous must be the cosisequence of that diffusion.—(Appluese.)—This was a reform which none but public plunderers could resist, and which 'Would effectually overawe them."—(Applause.)—With respect to this parti cular coolest, he could not help making some fur ther observation*, and he meant to make them with all personal respect and good will towards Mr. Lamb. The electors must surely bear in mind what took place when their interring rood best rights were attacked by the friends of his colleague. Ile hoped. at least, that one great question then suc cessfully maintained, and by which so larva portion of the electors had beta disfraticloised, would be set at rest; he alluded to the oojrclion taken for non payineitt of poor's rates. That objection had been since set aside in the Court of King's Bench. He hoped, therefore, that the electors, whether they had ur had not ;mid then rates, would now come forward with their vote*. If it had not been for the decision at the last election. which had been since reversed, he was persuaded his colleague would. on Out occasion, have beets Mr. Hobhouse. Whets they moreover considered, that besides the efforts successfully resorted to on the last occasion to re strict the exercise of their right to franchise, their opponents had also hired armed ruffians to amok them ; he trusted the/ would nut easily forget these acts of outrage. 'I rue it was, that the infantry force composed of these fellows, was beaten off by the firm resistance of the people ; true it was, that the cavalry charge of respectable gentlemen. who entered the held. acid who were cot cow the less respectable for being out of it. was beaten at all ',Mute in their efforts to make an impression upon the electors.—(ilpplouse./—Their oppeuents did right to hire armed ruffians to best out the brains of the 'lusters sat* ettempted to approach the poll. for without first knocking out their brain', they knew they had no chalice of obtaining their votes. .--(LasigAter.)—But all theve efforts did not satisfy them. for they brought actions afterwards spinet the electors of Westminster for the windows which had bees brskeu in the tumults which they had them. selves excited. There was great injustice eta this geode of proceeding, which was originally eery good. when every Mill will armed sad reap to he called un at all moments to prevent * breach of the peace. but whieh now, whets the people were die. armed and bad no aureate whatever of permuting the outrages fax which they were yet held responsi ble, was an extreme hardship ; and to be called upon to ordure this hardship too, by the mess who substituted for ea srmed people so armed police end a standing army, was to be obliged to pay iu • double ferns for the neglect of the very men who now put she motley isle their own pockets. This was or bed se the conduct of the ancient Egyptians. who punished the Jews for slot makiitg hetet§ whets they gave them mu straw.—(A knegA.)—The Hun. Sereuet concluded with repressing • hope. that the people would not retort upon their oppo. wets the some deeds as they had iofficied upon dim, but would proceed with encomium:, and !sinuses* to omit their' orris iumirossileate.—(swosts .epploase.) Mr. WuNAIT cam. formed sad wss tiredly cheered. He said he was ss old Elector of West. mimics., and hod long **toggled with them for the ' , mai of their rights tondo the power of Weis. seri. in putting Mr. Lamb into simuination, he felt be wee Worst' before them • Gent lemon whom they knew, and whose political sentiments and of/miens were entitled to their approbation. Mr. Lomb had passed through two arduous aud momen tous Sessions of Pediment, sod had made every patriotic effort to re.mtablieh the rights of the people. sod to oppose the prolieete ezpeliditore of the public money. His conduct had received the unqualified approbation of a numerous and most re spectable meeting of his Comititurests. When they 'effected spots the part he had taken in the discus mous upon the bite obnoxious Bilks, he was sore they would agree with him in thinkisig that Mr. Lamb had amply and honestly redeemed the pledges he had at first given them when he solicited their suffrages. When such a men came uncorrupted and pure through the fiery ordeal of such a Hover of Commons as the less. and fought their battles as Mr. Lamb had done, he trusted they would not now forsake hien. but would return him as he de served. end free of expense.—(upplause. istermized wish some opposition )—The worthy Elector con cluded by putting Mr. George Lamb is mail. nation. Mr. ETA!!! (ur seconded this tumuli. nation, and complimented Mr. Lamb in very hand. some terms, upon the ;they'd and patriotic conduct he had pursued in Parliament. In 1780, the electors of Westminster had asserted their hide. prudence, and he tressed they would maintain it now by tete rrr il ig Mr. Lamb as one of their Re. preventatives to serve them in Parliament.— (Applause.) Mr. LAMS then came forward, and was received with considerable applause, though he had to en counter at first the sarcasms, which however were very good.hrimoured, of a few persons in hoot of the heisting.. He said he would, with greet plea sure, have given way to Mr. Hobhouse, but it seemed the custom was that the two old Members should have precedence. Mr. Hobhouse would, however, besides his superiority in point of elo. queued, have the advantage of speaking in reply. They had heard fora considerable time, much to their edification, and he was sure to their entertain ment, the eloquent speech of the Hon. Baronet.— (Applatese.)—He would assure them, however, in bespeaking 'their attention for himself, that he would occupy much less of their time than the Hoo. Baronet had dune. He would imitate him in abstaining from all topics of political acrimony, and personal reflection, and merely address them on public grounds.—(dpplease./—To the worthy Baronet he trusted he would be foetid addressing the same respectful language that he had addressed to him.—( Hear, hair.)—He was one of those who thought that the Representative and his constituents could not come too often together; because, if the conduct of the former were agree able to the latter. it would be strengthened and rendered more effective by their co-operation, end if it ware not, the time had snivel when it was pro per the individual should no longer be their Repre. imitative. Whenever such peri,id should arrive with him, end that he coned to have their confi dence, that instant he would be ready to resign his seat. He would never consent to see any man forced upou so intelligent and enlightened a body ' as the electors of Westaiinster.—(applasse.)—On their own free end unbiassed choice would he stand or fall. and he was ready confidently to appeal to the result. Ills intercourse with them had been marked by a constant and confidential iuterchenge of mutual good will. The shortness of time since be had addressed diem was to him a peculiar ad vantage. fur it enabled the electors to bear in full recollection the pledges he had made them. and now to say whether he bed redeemed them or not. In the short and arduous time during which he sat in Perlieusent. his conduct must be fresh iti their memory. This was no fit place for him to speak of himself. tour did he suppose such n subject would be very agreeable to them. Respecting the pamphlet which had been quotid, he concurred with the worthy Baronet as giving it the praise it deserved, and in the necessity of healing the public grievances by a Reform in Parliament. • But what objection had there been made to his conduct upon that question Had the Hon. Baronet objected to a single vote he had ever given ? He said it was herd he did not get assistance from his colleague. " But who," exclaimed Mr. Lamb with great anima tion. " gave Wm' more siontance then I did. when he brought the subject before the House of Commons?" —(applasse.J—That motion was an indefinite one —it was fur the appointment of a Committee to in quire what plan of Reform should be deemed eli gible. and on that OCCNIOU he (Mr. Lambs stated specifically and honestly what were lois nutmeats. If he had tint so stated them he should have been unworthy of their coufidence.—(opplaose.)—He was en advocate for the transfer of test representa tion of corrupt boroughs to populous places; he was for throwing epee such bergliage tenures to the pew's at loge, and lie had ever looked at the abo !Won of bribers' , said eurrilitiou as one vif the greatest objects to be attained by a Reform in Pao. lament.

Inwood' it be would be needy to advance, and fole lowing the example of the Honourable Barone" ,he areeld in such a cause accept the smallest donations. Absent from his duty be should never be found ; the independent electors would ever find him ready at his post. The Ho nourable Baronet west beck to remote times, and quoted an old lawyer of tkenameof Forteucer.

For his are part, be was fond of wiue, perhaps too such so, said be certainly would be glad to see them ell drink wine every day after dinner, but he meld not sus hew the attainment of that lour, would be the immediate result of a Re form in Parliament. The speech which he made Do the (aeries of the lion. Baronet would be found reported in the Parliamentary Debates.

He believed the ll.mourohle Kato net did the same. He thanked them all for the at trillion with which they had heard him—.(d losigh.)—He did not paean to toy that he received quite so much attention as Mr. )(van received at Drury-law ' but still he hoped that every man pre sent had heard him.

He would be always reedy to do his dot', and convinced that he had given no VIM* to thrum for withdrawing their support, he had 110 doubt of the result of the contest; he hail no doubt but that he would appear again the free and chose.l Representative of Westminster.
