- especially that no ity;titution claiming to be an integral part of the Government and constitution of a free country can lon.- survive the well-founded hostility, much less the contempt, of a whole people.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. BI.ACKBURNE seconded the resolution. Inter (ilia he observed: I trust there :sill be a proclamation of public opinion and feeling which will be heard cz ith attention in the Upper House of the Imperial PArliament, and the murmurs of which will ascend even to the throne.—( Loud cheeri:;:;.) Mr. LYRE EvANs briefly proposed the fifth resolution without further comment, which was seconded be Mr. J. SNIITH—When he carne into the town that morning he heard it stated that it was their intention to petition the ' House of Lords. lie was glad to find that that intention had been abandoned, because he would have been compelled, had it been persevered in, to oppose it. The House of Lor:!s had no right to oppose the passing of the Corporation Reform Bill. It was a measure which proceeded from the People's douse, which related solely to the peop le, and which gave back to the people the power of which they had been defrauded. He w as g ;•td that there caisted no feeling in favour of petitioning the llou.:e of Lords. If the House of Commons wanted power to el..rry through their measures, let them come to the people for moi 3 power, and they should have it.--(Great ap plause.) Bet that House possessed power in more ways than one. It possessed the power of stopping the supplies.-- (Cheers.) They had also the power of addressing the Crown, stating that the ancient peerage of the country had been overlaid, and request:! ,o : to have an equal number of liberal Peers immediately created to counteract the poison.— (Cheers.) if the representatives of the people came to them for Fkower, they should have it. — ( Loud a pp lause.) 'The CHAIRMAN declared the resolution to be carried, only One band being held up against it. Mr. BOLTON, in accordance with the resolution just adopted by the meeting, had the honour of proposing that a petition be forwarded to the House of Commons, praying that the present provisions of the Municipal Reform Bill be ad hered to. Mr. SInEI, seconded the motion. The resolution was carried, and the largo assembly quietly dispersed. S LIEFFIELD. The inhabitants of Sheffield have not been backward in fol lowing the example of the other principal towns in the king dom. They have placed upon record their full opinions in re ference to the very questionable conduct of the Tory Peers. On Monday at noon, a public meeting was held in the Court house, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Corporations Bill unimpaired in any of its essential provisions. This meeting, which was so much crowded as to render the extraordinary heat of the place almost intolerable, was held in compliance with a requisition to the Master Cut ler, and called in his absence by Mr. John Spencer, sen., as senior warden of the Cutler's Company. On the motion of Mr. S. BAILEY, seconded by Mr. DUNN, Mr. Spencer took the chair. Mr. S. BAILEY then rose amidst loud applause.—Let us reflect for a moment, let us follow out in detail the conse quences which would ensue, should the Lords be mad enough to reject this Bill. Did they suppose that when they had thrown out the Bill it would be handed over to oblivion ; that the matter would be hushed up and forgotten? Can they be so infatuated as to imagine that a measure which has long been called for by the intelligent part of the country, the necessity of which (already proved by the existence of notorious abuses) has been confirmed by a searching investigation into every corporation in England, and the principle of which has been admitted by the leaders of the party opposed to it— can they ho so infatuated as to think that this measure—thus called for, thus supported, and thus confirmed—will ever be abandoned by the Knig's Ministers, or the people's repre sentatives, or the people tLz.intselves ?—( Applause.) Mark, then, the situation in which the ccentry will be placed if the Bill be rejected. The King's Ministers, the House of Corn mons, and the great bulk of the people, wz , uld be ranged on one side ; on the other would be a few hundred Peers, with a sprinkling of aldermen and town-clerks, and a sturdy body of Ultra-Tories. How was this difference to be settled be: weep the parties ? Which, he inquired, were to give way to the other ? Was it to be supposed that the people, the represen tatives of the people, or the King's Ministers, would give way ? It was idle to suppose that any of them would abandon their object. The late proceedings of the Peers had drawn down upon themselves the designation of a farce ; and he must own, that if he had to choose a word from the whole of the English language, be could not find an epithet which ex pressed with more precision his own impression of their cha racter. Mr. Bailey concluded by urging the adoption of the petition. Dr. KNIGNT seconded the resolution. Mr. PALPREYMAN proposed a resolution, expressing alarm and regret at the conduct of the Lords in reference to the Corporation Bill. Mr. E. ELLIOTT, author of " Corn Law Rhymes," in se condingt, o icsolution, spoke nearly as follows :—Mr. Chair man, and Gentlemen, you will pardon me if I unintentionally say anything which may be deemed uncharitable of any of my countrymen. It is necessary, I feel, that certain mistaken men in this country should know what they are. They can only acquire such knowledge by hearing the opinions of honest men. You, Sir, being a plain man, will allow me, another plain man, to call a spade a spade. The Aristocracy wish you to believe that they represent the property of the nation, and mainly support its religion. If they can succeed in per suading you of these things, they " divide and conquer." We have; indeed, a splendid peerage, and a priesthood of princes; but neither does the one represent property, nor the other re ligion. What is religion? Is it the mitre, the cloven crown, which reminds you of cloven feet?---( Laughter.) Christ wore no mitre. His kingdom here is Christ in the heart, and whit else can it be in heaven ?—( Hear, hear.) Surely those magnificent fishermen do not expect us to believe that there are palaced parsons in heaven ! Then, for the sake of pro perty and religion, I warn you against the worst enemies of both. It is not thirty hours since I read a list of the names of 173 Tory Lords, whose estates, if sold at the present monopoly-price of land, would not pay two-thirds of their debts. I shall not read those names here, because Ido not wish to be involved in law suits with 173 Aristocrats, not worth powder and shot.—( Laughter.) But if we really are to be misruled by a horde of beggars, let them, at least, be English men. Let it not be said of us that we are trampled upon by a few hundred emissaries of foreign despots. Are not these Lords foreigners in their hearts? Do they not every day utter sentiments fit only for the meridian of St. Petersburgh ? Has not their leader sworn allegiance to a foreign despot ? Do they not represent here the interests of the King of the Huns? Who gave Poland to Russia ? Our Tory Lords, by delaying the Reform Bill. Do they not propose to give him the Dar danelles ? Why not the Humber ? Give Constantinople to Rnssia, ant, you give her Sheffield. What care bankrupt Peers to whom they sell their country ? Their opposition to Municipal Reform proves that they mean to sell you ; and you know there is a bidder in the market.—( Hear, and cheers.) Down, then, with these Anglo- Russians ; these British aliens ! these collared hounds of Nicholas ! I once thought that a House of Lords might be er.dured, if elective, but I no longer think so ; and the conduct of the American Senate, in support ing the B ink against the people, proves that such Ar i s t oc ra t ic bodies are necessarily mischievous. It is impossible that your business can be well done in the House of Irresponsibles— ( Laughter)—while Lady Charles wants a douceur, while Lord Fanny, if she vote for you, must finger 10/.—( Renewed laughter)—while Whig Lords declare that Noble Lords must not be coerced by public opinion, which governs all things, and is the expressed will of God on earth, and while Tory Lords boa.'t that they—.s gang of self-declared beggars—do not care a straw for the honest Representatives of twenty-four mil lions of self-supperted Britons.—( Cheers.) Have you, then, prepared your back for the knout ? Are you prepared for the Duke of Wellington's Siberian whip ?—( Hear.) Or have you determined to tell these Lords that as you keep both yourselves and them—as you are independent men, and they beggars fed by you, they shall not defeat, not mutilate, nor delay your Bill for Corporation Reform.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. FISHER proposed the adoption of a petition. Mr. BRAMLEY seconded the motion. He had hoped that the passing of the Reform Bill had had a salutary influence on the minds of the Tory Peers. But, unfortunately, they had not profited by their experience. They had sunk, deeper and deeper in impolicy and intolerance. They had shut their eyes to the precepts of wisdom, and took upon themselves to en thral the King, usurp the rights of the people, and were, by their conduct, hastening us on to a state of frightful oligarchy. —( Hear, hear.) And it was easy to foresee the issue. The country would not long submit to see them exercise power, without an iota of responsibility.—( Hear, hear.) Lord Mel bourne had given them a sufficient warning. He had point edly warned them that if they followed the advice given to them, with respect to the Bill before them, it " might be the destruction of their House."—( Hear, and sheers.) In that warning every one must concur.—( Cheers.) The resolution was put from the Chair, and carried with out a dissentient hand being held up against it. Mr. DONCASTER moved the resolution of thanks to Lord Melbourne, to whom it was likewise proposed to entrust the petition for presentation. Mr. NANSON seconded tile resolution, which was adopted nem. coi'. Mr. DuNs, jun., proposed, and Mr. J. ROEBUCK seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for his readiness in calling the ineeting„ and for his impartial conduct in the chair. The resolution was unanimously passed amidst the cheers of the assembly, and the meeting then separated. [ln the course of the afternoon and evening the petition was sinned by many thousand persons, and was despatched to Lord Melbourne the next morning.] LEI CESTER. A meeting of the inhabitants of Leicester, to consider what steps should be adopted, in consequence of the proceedings of the House of Lords, respecting the Corporation Reform Bill, was held on Monday evening last, at the New Hall in that Town. The Hall, which is caieulated to contain 2,000 persons, was filled to excess. - The chair was taken by T. PAGRT, Esq., the late Member for the county. The CHAIRMAN the Lords, of all men, shou'd be the last to call for evidence of the corrupt workings of Corpora tions, for they, of all men, were the best acquainted with it. How many of them had limbed the ladder of ambition by means of those corrupt Corporations, and how few of them would now be inclined to kick it down when they wished their own progeny to rise by the same means ? The line of conduct which they pursued added insult to injury.—(" Stop the sup plies," said a voice in the crowd.) Should they rest on their oars and do nothing ?—( No.) Then what should they do ? —( 4 Stop the supplies," said several voices.) The Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the attacks which bad been made an the present Administration, and in a most most animated manner said the Government had done a great deal for the people, and therefore the people eould give tbam every sup port. They would not be robbed of their rights:—(Cheers.) They were not slaves, nor owed allegiance to a Car narvon or a Winebilsea, nor were they :ccmpelled to pay ho mage to a Newcastle or a Rutland; nothing, therefore, should induce them to allow those rights to be trampled on which they knew to be their own. Mr. lionosoN, the banker, proposed the first resolution. The Lords would have to give way to the determination of the people, who would have the whole Bill, and nothing hot the 13i11.—( Cheers.) Mr. fluTcniNsoN (a member of the Society of Friends) seonded the resolution. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. W. Blocs argued that the Lords were proceeding in the quickest way to destroy the constitution of their House, by setting themselves up against the wishes of twenty-five mil lions of people, and rejecting a measure which was so ardently desired by all parties. He then observed, that during his travels in America he observed every thing going on in the most prosperous manner, and yet the people had no House of Lords. lie entreated the meeting not to despair. Reform might be put off for a quarter of a century, but it must be granted at last.—( Hear.) They must agitate again and again. They must revive the Unions. So far from ceasing to petition, they should pour in petitions week after week, and lay them at the foot of the Throne. _ _ The resolution was seconded by R. J. Smtrti, and carried unanimously. Mr. STONE (an attorney) proposed the third resolution. The resolution having been seconded by Mr. PAGET, was put and carried. The Rev. C. BERRY proposed the next resolution. He ob served that no good would be gained to the people without union and agitation. He did not say that the country should be without a second House of Parliament; but he could con ceive the mischief that the House of Lords might create in opposing certain popular measures. That House had done great service to the country in arresting the course of some measures ; but on such an occasion as the present, it was iniquitous for the Lords to put themselves against the opinions of twenty-five millions of their fellow-subjects.—( Cheers.) Mr. A. BURGESS seconded the resolution, and it was carried. Mr. al.'s (a member of tho Society of Friends), in pro posing the next resolution, said it was most important that Corporation Reform should be carried, and without it the Reform Bill was nothing. It was seconded by Mr. PALMER, and carried unanimously. Mr. HARRIS then proposed the next resolution, which was also carried. The Rev. JOHN TAYLOR (a Dissenting Minister), after ob serving that Government were entitled to the gratitude of the people for the exertions they had used on their behalf, proposed the seventh resolution, which was carried amidst loud cheering. Mr. KIRBY, the banker, then moved the eighth, which was also carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. CHELTENHAM. The following petition is in course of signature in this town : _ _ To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Par liament assembled. The Humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants and House holders of the Borough of Cheltenham and its neighbour hood, _ . . . . . Sheweth,—That your petitioners beg to express their great satis faction that a Bill " for the better regulation of Municipal Corpo rations, in England and Wales," has been passed in the House ol Commons. That your petitioners feel fully convinced that the greatest bene fits will arise to the community at large from a correction of the many flagrant evils and notorious abuses of the present corporate system. That your petitioners therefore pray that the Bill may be passed by your Right Honourable House with as little delay as possible, and without material alteration of its provisions. And your petitioners fear, if the Bill be not so passed, that the respect of the people for your Lordships' Right Honourable House, and for the institutions of the country, will be greatly diminished. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c. LEWES, TUE:SDI r, AuausT Last nighi a public meeting of the inhabitants of the bo rough of Lewes took place at the Public Temple, to consider the propriety of addressing the House of Lords, praying them to pass the Municipal Corporation Bill without mutilating it, or destroying its efficiency. Mr. NATHAN HAMMOND, in the Chair. The following resolutions were severally put and carried unanimously :- 1. That this meeting have seen with unmixed gratification a Bill for regulating the Municipal Corporations of England and Wales, pass the House of Commons, and feel themselves called upon to second the exertions of that Honourable House in obtaining the passing the said Bill unmutilated and unimpaired. 2. That this meeting have witnessed with great disappointment and alarm, the attempts that have been made in the House of Lords, by their determination to hear counsel and evidence at the bar of their Lordships' House, with a view either to get rid of the Bill alto gether, or to waste the remainder of the session in useless discussion. 3. That this meeting therefore feels it incumbent on them to manifest to their Lordships' House, their ardent desire to see the Bill passed into a law, and have with that view determined to peti tion their Lordships to pass the same unmutilated. 4. That a petition, founded on the above resolutions, be now read. 5. That the petition now read be adopted by this meeting, en grossed on parchment, signed by the inhabitants of the town, and forwarded to Lord Melbourne for presentation. 6. That this meeting express their entire satisfaction and appro bation of the conduct of the independent Members for this borough during the present Session of Parliament, especially upon the Municipal Corporation and Irish Church Bills. Although there are a great many High Tories in this place, not a single one, whether high, middling, or low, showed his face at the meeting openly and publicly convened. There was not a dissentient voice in the Temple. The petition will be forwarded to Lord Melbourne this evening. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED. The following hand-bill has been circulated here by the leading Reformers. The petition will be largely signed : The nature and state of proceedings on this question in the House of Lords not affording time for holding a public meeting, it is proposed to forward instantly, for presentation, a Petition, as follows : To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parlia ment assembled— The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Parish of Berwiek-upon-Tweed, Slieweth—That your petitioners have heard that representations have been made and evidence given to your Right Honourable House, calculated to induce your Lordships to believe that the pre vailing feeling and wishes of the inhabitants of this place are ad verse to the Bill for Reform of Municipal Corporations, which has recently been passed by the House of Commons. That your petitioners cannot refrain from expressing their astonishment and indignation at so gross an attempt to mislead your Right Honourable House ; for your petitioners pledge themselves that a very large majority of the community, especially of the intel ligent, wealthy, and respectable residents, are decidedly in favour of the Bill. " That, with respect to this place, your petitioners are fully sa tisfied, not only that the existing Corporation is not a useful or efficient instrument of local government,' but that it proves alike injurious to the individual members and to the community at large, and retards the prosperity and improvement of the town ; and in confirmation of this opinion, your petitioners crave leave to refer your Lordships to the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Municipal Corporations made in the year 1833, and the evidence of the witnesses examined before them as to Ber wick, all of whom were burgesses, and one of them the Treasurer of the Corporation. " Your petitioners being satisfied that the Bill for the Regula tion of Municipal Corporations, as passed by the House of Com mons, is a measure now become indispensably necessary, and that. the rejection of it by your Right Honourable House would be fraught with danger to the public tranquillity and welfare, most earnestly pray that your Lordships will be pleased to pass the same without any essential alteration. " And your petitioners will ever pray. " Berwick, Saturday, Aug. 8. _NORWICH. On Monday evening the entire area of the Angel Inn-yard was tilled by a numerous body of most respectable inhabitants of this city, who had assembled - for the purpose of passing some Resolutions in favour of the Municipal Reform Bill, and to agree to a petition to the House of Lords in support of that measure, and praying that they would immediately pass the Bill. We never remember any meeting in this city which was more strongly characterised by its respectability and intel ligence than this. About seven o'clock, upon the motion of Captain Money, seconded by John Barwell, Esq., Alderman and Sheriff Marshall was called to the Chair, and, en accept. ing it, addressed the meeting at considerable length, exhibit ing the incongruities and evils of the present municipal system by reference to various data furnished by the Corporation Commissioners. J. W. Robberds, jun., Esq., proposed the following Resolutions, in an energetic speech, in which he, in very powerful language, deprecated the evils which the cor porate system exhibited in this city, in bribery, jobbing, &c. Edward Willett, Esq., seconded the Resolutions, and declared that the manufacturing interest of the city had suffered greatly from the existence of the Corporation. Captain MONEY proposed a petition to the House of - Lords, and, in terse and very strong language, denounced the con duct of the Lords as having for its object the throwing out of the Bill. It, however, required the people of England to insist on its passing, as they did the Reform Bill three years since, and he was sure the Lords would give way. Mr. J. FRANCIS, a large manufacturer and Common-Coun cilman, seconded the petition, and supported Mr. Willett in the opinion of the injury the Corporation had been to the manufacturers of the city. J. PALMER, Esq., supported the petition, and commented on the evidence given before the House of Lords upon this Bill. Captain MONEY proposed, and J. BARwELL, Esq., se conded, a motion, that Lord Melbourne should be requested to present the petition. The Resolutions and Petition were all carried unanimously, amid loud cheering. Cheers were also given in favour of Lord J. Russell, Earl Grey, his Majesty's Ministers, &c. A freeman proposed to add to the petition, " Unlimited Household Suffrage and Vute by Ballot," but it was loudly and unanimously negatived. The Meeting, which must have consisted of several thou sands, then quietly dispersed. Resolved,—That the Municipal Institutions of this country, hav ing been adapted to the state of society as it existed 700 years ago, are no longer calculated to promote the ends of good Civic Govern ment, but in most cases counteract the well-being of the commuities under their rule. That the privileges and endowments now held by Corporations, for the exclusive benefit of a part, ought to be extended to all who are effected by them, and applied to the advancement of those corn men interests, which they were at first designed to serve. That the Corporation of this City has long exercised a most per nicious influence over the inhabitants at large. That it has capriciously ard factiously withheld its franchise from many, who have thereby been denied a voice in the election of their .Magistrates, and have no control over the application of the rates, to which, by the Sessional order of such Magistrates, theyare obliged to contribute. 'That it has prostituted to the purposes of political influence the charitable funds, of which its members are the official trustees That it has engendered a system of most profligate and ini (pitons corruption, in the course of frequent party struggles, to obtain the management of those funds, and the disposal of the pa tronage connected with Civic Office, whereby the whole energy of the city is diverted from objects of general improvement anti public ot ilit v—to t he degrading pursuits of a petty intestine warfare. That it has, finally, been the means of contaminating, by these corrupt practices, the electien of Members of Parliament, and has thus relaxed every oblivion of honor, law, conscience, and reli ion. his Meeting has heard, with the utmost surprize and indigna tion, that a Petition, purporting to be that of the Mayor, Sheriffs, Citizens, and Commonalty of the City of Norwich, has been pre sented to the House of Lords, wherein it is asserted that a majority of the Clergy, gentry, merchants, bankers, manufactul era, and other resident inhabitants of this city, consider its present Body Corporate to be not only an efficient and useful, but an approved instrument of local government. That this Meeting most distinctly and emphatically disclaims any participation whatsoever in such sentiments, but hereby denounces them as utterly repugnant to the known wishes and opinions of a decided majority of the most independent inhabitants of Norwich. That we earnestly desire a general Reform of Municipal Corpo rations, and consider his Majesty's present Ministers to be emi nently entitled to the thanks and confidence of the people, for hating prepared a Bill to effect that important object, and for the honesty with which they have carried it triumphantly through the House of Commons. That our mind, ever filled with seriqus apprehensions, by the opposition manifested to that Bill by the House of Lords, and that a Petition be therefore presented by the inhabitants of this city, re questing their Lordships to pass it without altering its main princi ples, or impairing the efficacy of its leading provisions. That the following Petition be adopted. That the Petition be transmitted, with a copy of these Resolu tions, to Lord Melbourne, requesting his Lordship to present it in the earliest and most convenient occasion. POOLE. Often as we have been accustomed to witness the grossest perversion of truth by Tory journals, we were not prepared for the statement in the Standard of Saturday last. I will not trespass on your pages in transcribing the leading article, fur ther than as it describes the evidence of the Town Clerk of Poole (he not having been examined) as affording " an instruc tive incident worthy of remark, because it in truth supplies a key to whatever of support this Municipal Corporation Bill has received from persons locally and not otherwise connected with corporations." The conclusion which the Standard draws from the whole statement is this—that the Bill is popular with those electors, and those only, who reside in districts annexed to the old boroughs by the Boundary Act—a conclusion than which, so far as Poole is concerned, nothing can be more erro neous. The number of inhabitants in the old borough is about 3,000; the districts may number 1,000 in addition. The total number of resident burgesses qualified to vote is only 79, not withstanding an increase to their numbers within a short pe riod, (and by the way some of the old and immaculate bur gesses—peace to their manes ! received bonuses varying from —l. to 2001. for nominating a brother.) The Mayor, Sheriffs, Magistrates, Coroners, are all elected by this body from amongst themselves, without regard to capability or character. By their fruits ye shall know them : let a sample or two suffice. A public bridge was a short time since projected—the Corpo ration, in one of those lucid intervals, which, alas ! like angels' visits, have hitherto been ftw and far between, determined and recorded its opinion that the work would be of great public uti lity. The inhabitants confirmed the opinion—rare coincidence Second thoughts are sometimes best. So thought some wor thies of this worthy Corporation, and accordingly an oppo sition is dot up by them to this work of public utility, by which twelve hundred pounds and upwards of public money was applied to the private advantage of a public officer. Again, the Municipal Reform Bill is brought forward, by which so stupifying an effect is produced that the Bill virtually passed the Commons, before the worthies began to recover. The cackling of geese saved Saguntum, and why might not the Corporation of Poole be saved, when the cackling of certain of our nobles was heard in this corner of the kingdom. The Corporation meet, the town-clerk is to be the deputation, with a vote of 3001. To town he goes, but soon comes down again, and hav ing fouad two suitable witnesses, returns. I do not wish to expose any man's misfortunes, but so it is that they have both, within a few years, been bankrupt, and are now, to a considerable extent, dependent upon the leaders of a political party here. Let it suffice that their evidence at the Bar of the House of Lords, as reported in the public papers, was such as to fill the mind of every impartial person here with unspeakable disgust. Sir C. Wetherell was not bold enough to call the town-clerk, though present, and why should he since, as I am told one of these bankrupt witnesses has, since his return, stated that his evidence produced so wondrous an effect, that the Bill will be materially altered. After all, the best proof of the feeling of the inhabitants upon the subject is—that whilst no petition has been got up against, one was yesterday presented to the House of Lords, in favour of the Bill, signed by upwards of GOO persons, respectable alike for wealth, intelligence, and character. WORCESTER. On Saturday morning last it was suggested by some of the leading Reformers of this city, that it would be necessary at the present crisis to have a meeting to consider what steps should be taken to further the success of the all-important measure, at present so delayed by the House of Lords—the Municipal Corporation Bill ; when it was resolved a deputa tion should wait upon the Mayor with a requisition, signed by 47 most respectable persons, to ask for the use of the Guildhall to address the King and petition the Commons upon that subject. The deputation accordingly waited upon his wor ship, who, "in the plenitude of his wisdom," refused the use of the Hall. No sooner was this communicated to the parties, than a hand-bill to that effect was issued, and dispatched that evening to all parts of the town, requesting the attendance of the friends of Corporation reform' at the Corn-market this day (Tuesday) at twelve o'clock. Early on Sunday the Tories congregated together in knots of twos and threes, and a meeting was fixed for Monday morning. On the afternoon of Sunday the Tories met to frustrate the object of the projected meeting. The Mayor sent for one of the deputation, and in formed him that then he was at liberty to say the Hall was at the service of the Reformers. But the Reformers were not to be so cajoled. The time-serving policy of the Mayor was un derstood and appreciated as it ought to be. The offer of the Hall was politely but firmly declined. In the mean time the Conservatives met at an unpaid Boni face's house in Broad -street, and came to the resolution of setting all their myrmidons at work, to prepare for the recep tion of the man " what pawn'd the plate," which was given him in 1831. The ale was abundant, supplied no doubt by the funds of the Corporation. It was some time before the hero of the hour made his appearance, but he finally did ap pear, and addressed his auditory in nearly the following words : Gentlemen,—l am happy to see you all so comfortable ; by your so cheering me, I perceive you know what I'm come for—it is to wish you success in your intended opposition to morrow to the Radicals and Destructives. They want to rob the poor man of his just rights—to upset all old rules and regula tions, and put you under a despotic- Radical-elected Council. I know you won't have that. I tell you, my dear fellows, I wish you well ; but we shall have a revolution, if you don't stop that meeting to-morrow. Go, lads, go ; interrupt them." —( Shouts of " We will, we will.) " Aye," continued the sage, "we shall never have another opportunity."—( Cries of " Fudge.") I declare I would give up my gown to-morrow — that I'd deceive ye." After delivering this eloquent oration, the gowned orator proceeded to instruct his hearers in the way of carrying his precepts into practice. The bludgeon-men were hired and regularly organized ; rivers of ale flowed in every direction ; and bands of fellows spirited on by the corporate authorities, paraded the streets, to the terror of the well-disposed inhabitants. The Tuesday morning comes—the men assemble in numbers-100 or more, at the ‘: Pack-horse," well charged with " home-brewed," and determined, at beck of a man " with weak eyes," to get, with their bludgeons under their smock-frocks, &c., to the field of blood, " the corn market;" but in vain, when they came, did their chief counsel his aides-de-camp to commence the be and groans ; they had been made comfortable, and they were resolved not to strain their lungs, and left their com mander to grin, and endure the mortification forsaken, by all his comrades. The body of people, who, to a man, held up their hands to support the views of the meeting, were im mense—at least 7000 ; and the address to his Majesty, the Commons, and his Majesty's Ministers, were all carried with out one dissentient voice. At the conclusion of which C. H. Hebb, Esq., chairman, proposed three times three cheers for the King, and the meeting separated, with an unanimous feel ing, that from this Toryism, in the words of Harry VIII. to his physician—is " lost for ever I" The following is the Address to his Majesty " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " THE HUMBLE PETITION, &c., " SHEIVETii,—That your Petitioners have witnessed, with ex treme surprise and regret, the course adopted by the House of Lords on the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, as they cannot but fear that such a course can only spring from a desire to destroy, or to mutilate and render futile that highly important and national measure. " That your Petitioners, believing that the Municipal Corpora tions Reform Bill legitimately involves and implicates those inte rests alone that regard the People, or third estate ; and relying on the temper displayed by the House of Commons on the introduc tion, and during the discussion, of that Bill, apprehended no serious opposition to its leading principles from any other quarter. 66 That your Petitioners are warmly attached to the ancient and admirable Constitution of their country, as consisting of King, Lords, and Commons, and are anxious to retain towards the House of Peers those feelings of attachment and respect which the know ledge of that Magna Charta itself is due to the gallant conduct of those Peers at Runnymede is calculated to inspire, and their own high constitutional power when directed solely to the general good, to command and to perpetuate. " That your Petitioners therefore humbly implore your Majesty to employ all constitutional means to secure the perfect and speedy triumph of a Bill so anxiously desired by the great majority of your Majesty's faithful subjects." The following is the Petition to the House of Commons : " That your petitioners view with feelings of the highest astonish ment and regret the dangers that threaten the Municipal Corpora.. tions Reform Bill, lately passed by your Honourable Clouse, from the course pursued respecting it by the other House of Parliament. " That your petitioners, relying on the temper displayed by your Honourable House on the introduction and during the discussion of the Bill, and confident that it is based on the great principl es o f truth and public justice, apprehended no serious opposition to its leading principles from any other quarter. "Tat your petitioners place implicit confidence in th e fi rmness, wisdom, and public virtue of your Honourable House, and humbly entreat that you will not consent to any alterations in the Bill that may impair its just and comprehensive character, or narrow the elective rights which it confers." LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1835. It appears by the official account of the Revenue, for the year ending the sth of April last, in another column, that the surplus of income over expenditure is £902,062. 19s. This is the more gratifying, when we recollect that Sir ROBERT PEEL announced the surplus to be only £250,000. Our readers will find in The Sun of to-day, ampler and more striking proofs than any they have yet had, of the determination of the people to have justice done them by the House of Lords, On this point the country is unanimous to a man. It is not Liverpool only, or Manchester or Sheffield, that is speaking out, but a whole empire. And what is its language ? Is it of a timid, supplicating or equivocal character? Far otherwise. It is the language of confidence—of 0 0 reso lution—of menace —nay, even of defiance—the lan guage of men exasperated by a sense of wrong ; and such as they never use, or are justified in using, unless when driven to extremities. In a word, it is the na tion's last solemn appeal, before it strikes the final blow, to the justice of the House of Lords. Pray Heaven it may be attended to ; and that the proceed ings which have commenced with a farce, may not be closed with a tragedy ! We warned their Lordships it would come to this. We warned them that the people were no longer to be trifled with, as in the old days of boroughmongery ; that they had outgrown their leading-strings ; had ar rived at man's estate ; and were resolved to take the conduct of their affairs into their own hands ; but the Intolerants would not be advised ; and the conse quence is, that they are now placed in such a posi tion, that they can scarcely retreat without humiliation, and certainly not advance without encountering ine vitable ruin. Meantime, their embarrassment is our gain. Just in proportion as they are perplexed and di vided among themselves, we are furnished with en couragement to be decided and unanimous. If we persevere now, all is gained. If we falter, all is lost. We stand on the highest 'vantage ground, and if we surrender, or even yield up one inch of our position, we deserve all the penalties, and all the tortures that the enemy in his scorn may think fit to inflict upon us. But we need not anticipate irresolution on the part of the people, for, as we have already observed, the spectacle they now present is one every way worthy of themselves and the cause in which they are enlisted—the spectacle of a mighty empire moved with one impulse, and act ing with one will. The ferment at Liverpool—at Worcester—at Manchester—at Plymouth—at Exeter —and at Leicester (at which last place an emphatic petition to the House of Lords was signed by up wards of twelve hundred individuals in less than twelve hours !) is the ferment of the population of three king doms. It_ is the evidence of a whole empire in favour of Corporate Reform ! And are we to allow testi mony like this to be set at nought by such a Legisla tor as the Duke of NEWCASTLE, whose title the very humblest plebeian that ever existed might be justified in declining, if with the ducal title he were compelled also to take the ducal brains ;—are we to allow such a mere noisy imbecile as this to put a Veto on our de mands, and decide what is, or what is not, for our benefit ? Impossible I We know our own interest far better than he, or a thousand such " small deer" can tell us. Hereditary sagacity has long since ceased to we igh with us. The ducal s t ar h as no g li tter i n our eyes. We estimate the Peer as we est i mate t h e plebeian, solely by his moral and intellectual worth ; and will not allow him to be a competent judge of our wants and wishes, simply because he may happen to own a title. There are as many thick heads hid beneath the coronet, as beneath the clodhopper's hat ; indeed, their Lordships' ignorance as a body is so notorious, that we are astonished some Liberal Mem ber of the House of Commons has not yet brought in a Bill for the purpose of Promoting Education among the Peers ! And yet these men, forsooth —notwithstanding their avowe d deficiencies in all that constitutes the sci ence of legislation—presume to tell us that we, the People, are a mere set of Ignoramuses, and not safely to be entrusted with our own interests ! Possibly the great public Meeting ~ which, at this very moment while we wi ite, is taking place in the heart of the City of London, may teach them to think dif ferently. They may there read proofs of our sagacity, and find warrants also for our resolution. But if this do not convince them, let them turn their attention to the pAition sent up to them from Cambridge. There, at least, they will find evidence undeniable that the people know what they are about. The Cambridge Reformers are indeed no filchers. What they think, they speak ; and what they speak, they speak out in the boldest and most sagacious terms. A word more and we have done. As the people have begun, so let them continue. Let town after town—city after city-- county after county—meet, petition, and remonstrate, till the end for which they agitate, is achieved. If this be not sufficient to satisfy the House of Lords of their inflexibility, let them next have recourse to the Unions. Let Birmingham again rear her head, and march another two hundred thousand p Reformers to New-hall Hill The Roman Catholic Marriages' Bill was thrown out last night by the Lords on the second reading. The rejection of this measure, the object of which was to clear away the last remnant of that accursed penal code which has produced so much misery in Ireland, will not add greatly to the character for wisdom and li berality which our legislators by prescription have lately acquired. The law as it lately stood, while it recognized the validity of a marriage celebrated by a Catholic priest, when both the parties belonged to the Catholic commu nion, decreed the penalty of death against the priest who celebrated a marriage between a Catholic and a Pro testant. Not content with this moderate tribute to the " Protestant ascendancy" principle, it also in flicted a penalty upon the innocent offspring of such marriages which it bastardized. It is no longer a capital crime in a Catholic clergyman to unite two Christians of different sects in the holy bands of ma trimony. In other respects the law remains in its former state, affixing a stigma upon the Catholics, and producing incalculable mischief by the uncertainty which it introduces into the right of inheritance—to say nothing of the power which it gives to the party professing the Protestant religion—a power often most cruelly used—of dissolving the marriage, under the pre tence of its illegality, whenever it suits his taste or con venience so to do. But the evils arising out of such a state of the law may easily be imagined—the good remains yet to be discovered. A pretext, indeed, is never wanting, when the cause of bigotry and intolerance is to be served, and therefore we are not surprised to find Bishop PHILP° TTS, and men of his description, defending the continuance of the present law on the ground of its preventing clandestine marriages. How it pro duces this effect, we are left to guess, while the is not disputed, that the utmost possible facility for contracting such marriages through the instrumentality of those respectable Protestant clergymen, who are significantly denominated " couple beggars," already exists. These Rev. Gentlemen will splice his MAJESTY'S Irish subjects by dozens and scores of a morning with the utmost secrecy, at the cheap rate of 2s. 6d. a pair, and no fault is found, no remedy applied ; but if a Catholic clergyman pre sumes to perform the marriage ceremony after the publication of bans on three separate Sundays, then the case assumes a different aspect—then it is quite another thing—then, indeed, a wide door is opened for clandestine marriages and all their concomitant evils I It is truly painful to see 4o much narrow-minded party feeling and sectarian bitterness exhibited where men are taught to look, if not for sound views of po licy, at least for some little example of Christian charity. It is but justice, at the same time, to exempt the Bishop of HEREFORD from this censure, and from all the odium to which his Right Reverend Brethren of LONDON and EXETER have exposed them selves, for defeating a measure recommended alike by its justice, its humanity, and its policy. We refer our readers to the highly interesting de bate which took place last- night in the House of Commons on Mr. HUME'S motion respecting the Orange Lodges. Mr. SHEIL'S speech is particu larly worthy of attention, not only for its eloquence— that is a never-failing attribute of his speeches—but for its masterly exposure of the organization and working of the Orange-Lodge system in Ireland. The learned gentleman, after mentioning the names of _those officers of the Orange Lodges who had been examined before a Committee of the House, and, among others, that of the Rev. MORTIMER O'SUL.- LIVAN, of Exeter-Hall notoriety, lately a Catholic, now a Protestant priest, of whom he very happily re marked that he was a most competent witness with re spect to both religions, as the one supplied him with the pleasures of memory, the other with the pleasures of hope ; stated in the following striking words the general result of the evidence :—" A vast confederacy, of which the exclusion of Ca tholics is a fundamental principle, exists. The members are initiated with a solemn religious ritual— the obligations of political brotherhood are imposed upon every individual belonging to this powerful asso-, ciation—signs and passwords, for the purposes of reciprocal recognition, are employed—this vast body, consisting of upwards of 150,000 men, are regulated by rules and ordinances the most explicit and minute —they are under the control of a Representative As sembly, the Grand Lodge, consisting of Deputies from every part of Ireland. The whole country is di vided into districts and departments, in which 'corres ponding and affiliated lodges, all connected with the Grand Lodge, are established. This enormous, this perilous organization is armed, and at its head is placed a Prince of the Blood, not next, but near, the throne."—(Loud and continued cheers.) Mr. SIIEIL then went on to trace the effects of this " infernal machine" upon the administration of justice and the peace of Ireland, and showed how it operated politically, and wound up the whole by detecting the secret agency by which it had been introduced into the army. Lord EBRINGTON'S speech is also excellent, and will not fail to be perused with the deepest at tention. What must be thought of the—shall we say love of truth, or want of memory—dis played by the Illustrious Duke, who denied all knowledge of his warrants being applied to the army, when we find it recorded to the following effect, in the minutes of a special meeting of the Orange Lodge, held at the house of Lord KENYON, in Portman square, on the 17th of February, 1831, his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND in the Chair : " Resolved that the following warrants be issued, No. 254, to Samuel Healey, of the Ist battalion of Royal Artillery. No. 258, to James Smith, of the 94th Regiment. No. 268, to private Wilson, of the 17th Foot." Let it be remembered, too, that the thanks of the meeting were voted to the " Royal and Illustrious Chairman for his great condescension and attention to the business of the meeting ;" nor let it be forgotten that the following is one of the rules of the Royal Orange Institution, which runs thus :—" No person can be admitted into this Institution for a smaller fee than 155., nor into the purple Order after a due period of probation for a smaller fee than'ss., except in the case of soldiers and sailors, when the fee should be at the discretion of the Committee." Let these things, we say, be borne in mind, and no one can err in his estimate of the - credibility, as well as the capability of the prime agent in this Orange plot. Mr. HumE's Resolutions, omitting the sth and Gth, which related to Lodges not connected with the army, were carried without a division. One of the Resolutions was made stronger than it originally was. The charge against his Royal Highness was at first limited to " signing " the warrants. Mr. HumE moved that "issuing " should be added to it, on which a division took place, when the amended Reso lution was carried by a majority of 143, the numbers being 183 to 40. The Paris Journals of Monday state that M. Dg KERATRY has been named President, M. DE SAL' vANDY, Secretary, and M. SAUZET, Reporter of the Committee appointed to examine the new Bills relative to the Press. On Saturday the Committee sat, with out intermission, from eight o'clock in the morning till eleven in the evening. It is expected that the Report will be presented to the Chamber on Thursday. The Ministerial papers, says the Massager, are fond of quoting M. FONPREDE and the Memorial Bordelais. We will quote a little in our turn—it will be short, but good " You talk of preserving your liberties---unhappy wretches !--your liberties ! You have but one, viz.) LOUIS PIIILLIPPE and his race. Your fortune! You have but one—Louts PHILIPPE and his race Your future prospects ! You have but one--Louts PHILIPPE and his race. Whether you will, or whether you will not, you will die with LOUIS' PHILIPPE and his race. Consider, then, at length-- once for all, and answer— " Will you live •or die ?" It appears from the official Report that, from the 23d June to the 31st July, there were at Toulon 1,37 5 deaths from cholera. The greatest mortality was on the 11th of July, viz., 103 deaths. From the Ist to the 2d of August, there were 8 deaths ; to the 3d , 10 ; and to the 4th, 4. It is hoped that the disorder will entirely cease in a few days. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARts, AtruttsT, 10.
