PRICE 7D. , cannot g id for do ing and desultory discussion followed, after which the resolutions were agreed to, and the report ordered to be brought up on Mouday.— Horning Herald. Mr. Spring Rice, who fills the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, brought forward the Budget last night. We will describe the course of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech. He began by detailing to the House what a Par liamentary Return—a very short and very recent one—should have made. known to every smatterer in State matters, as well out of the House as in it, namely—the amount of taxes reduced since the Peace. Next, he showed the reductions which had been mule in the votes in Committee of Supply other words, in the Estimates—which we should have supposed to have been equally well known to everybody who knows anything of such matters. But Mr. S. Rice is new to the Exchequer, and from the exhibition he made last night, it is quite clear that the Exchequer is new to him. Hjiving achieved the important work of reciting from well. kdbwn Parliamentary Papers what reductions hare been made is limes past, the Right Honourable Gentleman proceeded to complain that his " lot had not fallen to him in a fair ground." There were (he said) a vast number of ex penses to be provided for by him, which other Chancellors of•the Exchequer had not b.'en called upon to provide for. There was the fire which consumed the Parliament Houses, the Danish claims, the compensation for the sufferers in the fire at the Dublin docks; the grant for the Poles; the vote for the revising barristers; the relief of the county rates; purchases of works of art ; the grant for the education of slaves, and fur losses from the hurricane in Dominica,—mak ing in all the large sum of upwards of 400,0001. After insti tuting. a comparison between the balance sheets and the esti mates of Lord Althorp, the Chancellor of the Exchequer pro ceeded to state his estimate for the ensuing year He calcu lates thus : glass, which is to be reduced to one-third of its actual rate, by which a boon is conferred, not upon the nation at large, not in the slightest degree upon the poor—who most want relief —but upon, the wealthy glass-manufacturer—and that more affluent class of the community, who are in the habit of using glass. The third item of reduction, is the boon of the Whigs, to the impoverished people of Ireland; and what, in the name. of wonder, do our readers ' believe it is? It is a reduction of the stamp duty on arbitra tion awards in Ireland, in cases in which the property at issue is inconsiderable. The announcement of these reductions, which can operate to the advantage of only s►rall and select bodies of the people, if—which may reasonably be doubted they can produce benefit to any, constitutes the only part of the speech of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer which anybody will think it worth his while to read. This speech, it • will scarcely be denied, afEirds a striking proof of the assertion with which we set out, that if the Whigs when institutions are to be changed always attempt as much as possible, they make amends for their prodigality in this respect by a constant de termination to be as sparing as they can when the question is the relief of the people faint pecuniary burdens.—Morn.

The Court is of opinion that letters which have arrived, or may arrive, in Egypt between the middle of -April and the middle of September would probably have opportunities of expeditious trans mission to India by country sailing vessels ; but the Court have made rici arrangements for the transmission of such letters in an y a d y, and the East India Company has not the means of doing so. he Court issue this public notice in order to remove any erro net.us impression which may exist resp ec ti ng the es t a bli s h men t o f an East India Mail through Egypt; and they think it necessary to add tiAt, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are not °l)PGrtuties for the expeditious transmission to India of letters which may arrive in Egypt between September and April.

A match at twelve birds each, between .31r. Taylor and a cele brated shot from the country, came off on Wednesday at the lied House, Battersea. The crack shot had two dead birds given, and they tied at ten birds each. The tie was shot ofT, and won by 31r. T.Oor. Last night Mr. Spring Rice brought on the Budget. By the April balance-sheet, the income was 46,087,000!. ; and the' expenditure 45,185,0001., leaving a surplus of 902,0001. ; but by the balance-sheet up to July, the income appears to have been 45,539,0001., and the expenditure 44,334,000/., leaving a surplus of 1,205,000/., instead of 992,000/. Lord Althorp anticipated an income of 45 ,778,000/ , whereas the income has been 45,539,0001., showing a falling off of 230,000/. ; but then he had calculated the expenditure at 44,800,0001., whereas it did not exceed 44 334,000/., so that there was a diminution of expenditure of 466,000/. to meet a diminution of income of 239,000/., being a surplu s o f 227,000/. beyond Lord Althorp's calculation. So much for the past year. The Right Hon. Gentleman calculated the income of the country, for the coming year, at 45,550,090 L, and the Expenditure at 44,715,000/., leaving a surplus of 835,0001. But from this surplus certain deductions were to be made. It had been decided on Thursday night to provide for the interest due to West India proprietors, from the period that they suffered a pecuniary loss by the abolition of slavery. This interest has not yet been voted, and is to be provided for from the Ist of August, 1834. The total possible charge for the present year on account of the West India loan, is 1,010,000/., against which there' can only be set the surplus of 835,000/., so that there may be a deficiency of 175,000/. This is stating the liability at the utmost possible amount ; but he was of 'opinion that the amount would not exceed between 600,000/. and 700,000/., so that there might he a surplus of foam 150,000/. to 200,0001. The Right . Hon. Gentleman went into a variety of statements of exports and imports, of consumption of commodities in general use, of the increase of manufactures, &c., to show that the country was rapidly improving. The alteration in the Poor-laws had greatly re duced the expenditure of the country, and particularly the agriculturists, while it had greatly benefited the workin,q classes. Having stated the income and expenditure for Ilse year, it is obvious that there is little room for the reduction of taxes. The duty on flint glass is to be reduced from 6d. to 2d. a pound—the drawback in proportion. The loss to the revenue, from this reduction, he estimated at between 60,000/. and 70,000/. for the present year. In future years the loss would be made up by the increased consumption And the diminution of smuggling. An alteration in the duty on spirit licenses, which is to be fixed on a scale graduated ac cording to the consumption, would cause a reduction of about 40,0001. at the utmost. The repeal of the stamp duty on awards in Ireland would at the utmost amount to 5001. These are the only reductions. With respect to the reduction of the duty on Newspapers, the Right Honourable Gentleman said it amounted to 450,0001. He had not a surplus to that amount, but supposing that he had, would the House consent to its being applied to the reduction of the stamp duty on newspapers? The Honourable Gentlemen who were the ad wocates of the reduction had over and over again declared that it would be worse than nothing unless the whole duty were repealed at once. He hoped the House might be disposed at some fit and convenient time to consider the subject of the stamp duties on newspapers, with a view to a better arrange ment. The speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman was by universal admission able and lucid; and his reductions were also admitted to be the most judicious he could effect wilt the scanty surplus at his disposal.—Aforning Chronicle. The new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Spring Rice, delivered himself last night of his long-deferred and tong expected Budget. But although he made a long, a wary, and a skilfully-historical as well as clear statement, we arc in justice bound to declare that, like many other mountains which have been in labour, there was but little in it either to affect or to gratify the great commercial interests of the cam try. It is true that we did not expect much from him ; for small men under the control of others are not unfrequentiv pregnant with many small things ; but we did expect, and on what. might be fairly deemed no unsubstantial grounds, if his own- implied pledges be worth any thing, that not only some alluSion would have been made to the smuggling of unstamped newspapers at the expense of those which yield obedience to the law, but that such a reduction of duty would have been announced as to render smuggling, in the matter in question, an unprofitable business. Although the law, however, is perfectly inoperative for the suppression of such publications, not only in the opinion of Mr. Spring Rice himself, but also of the law authorities of the Crown—and - although, also, it is well known to both, that every unstaroped newspaper that is published is a direct robbery to the amount of more than three pence upon every stamped copy of a newspaper —or, in other words, in the instance of this journal, to the sum of ,about 20,000/. per year—yet the Chancellor of the Exciietater ap pears to think so meanly of this fourth, and not uninfinential estate, as not even to allude to the grievances of which it has so much and such just right to complain. For of s own part, we care nothing about the matter is the same thin to us, to a very large extent, whether unstamped newspaper he published without any legal notice on the part of the °Yens- . ment—whether the duty shall be reduced, or whether it shall be abolished ; but we own that we care much for, because we have taken a great interest in, the character of the men by whom this matter has been passed over in such contemptuous silence, and because our support of them is seriously implicated in their non-performance of not only their distinct pledges, but of a great m"ral duty to the people of the United kingdom. When Sir Robert Peel shall be again called upon to take office, we doubt not that the first measure of his administration will ha a compliance with the demands of the people in the fullest sense of the word in this matter—namely, a total abolition of the taxes on knowledge. Passing over this matter, however, for which, as we have said, we care nothing, excepting so far as it involves the character of the Administration for liberality, we have to announce, with great satisfaction, that some slight roduetien of the public burdens is likely to ensue. For instance, the duty on flint glass is to be reduced from sixpence per lb., the present rate, to two-pence, and the drawback upon exporta tion to be the same. This is an excellent measure, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer is entitled to every praise, for his manliness and courage, for attempting to effect it, in spite of the monopolists, who are desirous of having the present duty continued, and who did, four or five years ago, by their machinations, prevent Lord Althorp from proposing, at the suggestion of the present Right Hon. th e President of the Board of Trade, a similar measure to the House of Commons ; but it would have been much better, as was justly observed in the course of some remarks made on the Budget last night, had the duty been entirely abolished. The capabilities enjoyed by this country for the manufacturing of glass of all descriptions, but more especially of flint glass, are such as to entitle us to state that England could supply thg; whole world at a cheaper rate than any other country, and . . consequently that the increase of employment, and un questionable increase of consumption thereby, would, i n the course of a few years, make up, in an indirect man -117, what it would lose directly, by the abolition of the 6,4;:-.., The second reduction has for its object some_ g lik e zr ,;, equalization of the duty on spirit licences; c t a h hn i equ d n i eierrteo baegrai 4 i7 1 4t p i - n e 0 b i ;l i i t e y 7 the Chancellor of the Ex the correctness of his though we are inclined to doubt the At the hour, hmiever, at which we w r it e , we are not "ware or the limit 4 of inclusion' and excepti on . Th e t hi r d an d last , 4 norovement of the pre sent financial system is that of the abolition, i rider ; certain amount, of the stamp duty on awards in Ireland—a tale a thousand a year, or thereabouts, grievous from its specialty, and contemptible in its character. We are not inclined to proceed farther. The reductions will speak for themselves ; and with regard to the omissions, it is for the public, and not for us, to complain. We fear that, in this instance, as in many others, a well-meaning Government has been induced, upon false representations on the part of interested persons, to take counsel of their enemies, to the injury of their friends— to their own discredit, and perhaps ultimate destruction.— _ The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a Committee of Ways and Means, last night brought forward his financial statement, "the Budget." He entered, it will be seen, into very exten sive and minute details of all the heads of income and expendi ture, professing that he neither coloured nor suppressed any facts. He estimated, after a variety of calculations, that there • --- is a surplus of 835,0001; ; he could not, however, promise re ductions of taxation to that amount. He regretted that he was compelled to resist the application for reduction ; for, in addition to expenses that had unexpectedly fallen on the public means, there was required provision for the loan raised to meet the West India compensation. The real balance or surplus would then be about 250,0001. The revenue he re presented to be in the most improving state, especially in those branches that resulted from commerce, manu factures, and trade. In tddition to the increase of re sources from these means, they would also derive benefit from other sources by the reduction of the " dead weight," &c• That burden had now paqsed its maximum. Besides the con solation derivable from the improvement in commerce, manu factures, and trade, there was proof of the improved condition of the working classes to be drawn from the great increase in the deposits and depositors in Savings' Banks. With respect to duties that had been altered, the increase on spirit licenses had operated injuriously upon those whose retail of beer lists great, but whose sale of spirits was small. He proposed to give relief to such parties; that would cause a diminution of revenue of 4,0001. out of 40,0001. The duty on flint glass inter ferins ss ith trade, and affording opportunity to the smuggler to obtain the profit of the fair trader, he proposed to reduce the duty of 6d. to 2d. per lb., and thereby he calculated that trade would be greatly increased, and the revenue eventually ; be estimated a present loss of 60,000/. or ;0,000/. He also proposed to reduce the stamp on awards in Ireland in certain cases. So much success had attended measures of economy, and s) much benefit had resulted from them, that he admitted those was every ground for persevering in that course. In the ex pense of collection there had been, since 18_ 2 0, a reduction of 626,0001.—a larger reduction than was estimated as prac ticable by Mr. Hume in 1817. As to sinecure offices, by the arrangements made, when existing interests ceased, there would scarcely : remain a sinecure office ; for than iii 1810 there was required 101,000/. ; in 1834 the amount was 17,0001. In conclusion be declared that the credit of this country surpassed that of any country in the worm. 4 Jong £45,550,000 .14,715,000 Leaving aittrOus of •4A35;000 Having detailed the ground of his estimates, the Right Hon. Gentleman said that "this surplus would be seen to crumble away before the statement he was about to make." This state ment was, that the charge for compensation (the interest) to the West Indian slave-owners, from the Ist of August last year, till September next, will be 730,000/. He told the House, that if all the instalments on the loan were paid up, and the whole converted into stock, and the interest upon the whole, therefore, becoming a charge upon the public, the additional sum would be 280,0001., making, in the whole, 1,010,000/. Iwthis case he would have no surplus at all, but (635,0001. minus 1,010,0001.) a deficit of 175,0001. This,. however, was the full extent of the liability of the country on accour,t of this loan, and it was not at all likely they would incur that liability at present. On the contrary. he thought that between 600,0001. and 700,000/. would be all that could be called for this year, so that be should have a real surplus of from 130,000/. to 200,000/. Thus, the surplus of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is 150,000/. or 200,0001., or• some sum varying between the two. We will not pursue the order of his oration, or ra ther its want of order, but proceed at once to what this "most popular" Ministry proposes to'etFect in the way of re- Action of taxation. "Popular" Ministers can do everything of course. At all events we might have supposed they could, and as they have certainly given the lie to an old saying, and mace many silk purses out of sowa'..ears, it was not too much to expect that they could reduce taxes without a surplus, or at the very least, that, after their achievement in the case of the Irish Church, they could at a pinch make a stir_ plus. But there is a German proverb, which says that the best straps are cut out of other men's leather. The Irish Church Bill proved this. Straps enough, and good and broad qua too, aro cut out of the parson's pittances; but at home, out of his own leather, Mr. S. Rice protesti he cannot shave off enough to make more than a pair of shoe-strings. Observe the eight Hon. Gentleman's shavings. First, Lord Althorp last year put an increase on the duty on spirit licenses. The principle of Lord Althorp's measure is thought by Mr. Spring Rice to be ad. rairable ; but, at the same time, he thinks also that it opera tion bears hardly on the inoallor plass of puhlioans. He, there fore, proposes to allow a publican to state what quantity of spirits he proposes to sell in the course of the yoar, and to grant such publican a license at a rate proporti o n e d t o his: estimated dealings, at a small rate if the dealings be under a certain amount, and at the full rate if they be above that amount. Mr. Spring Rico did not detail his plan, and, therefore, we pronounce no opinion upon it. Secondly, Mr. Spring Rice appropriately follows up his first remission of taxation by a re duction of the duty on flint-glass from sixpence a pound to twopence, with a corresponding reduction upon the drawback. Thirdly, Mr. spring Rice proposes to take off the Stamp du ties en awards and qrbitmtitini in Ireland, below a certain amount. This is all the reda n ct o i t o v ct ed of ge t i a „ xat n i Q on I‘ l ,ind A ow nd . now, gentlemen Radicals, how do you like your fri en d s ? Ne • taking off " Taxes on 4.7.. 44Ht—a54.4444.7.. if Air. 'S. Rice had. stopped here—,if his Words had been as few as his deeds. But the night lion, Gentleman had no such luck. In spite of the complaints of the manufacturing classes, Mr. S. Rice spent two hours in demonstrating to his own most perfect satisfac tion, and with all that smirking self-complacency which elates him and shocks all who hear him, that there could be no dis tress—that the people were never so woll off as they are now— that never was the country generally in a more prosperous con dition than it is at the present moment. He did, however, admit that the agriculturists were distressed. Welthi ho had • held his tongue ; but here •aattin his unhappy propensity to prate ptevailed. Crammed` with a batch of poor law leasing from some experienced baker of such things, he graver} , assured the House that the Poor Law Act would be much more bonetieial tq the agriculturists than any re mission of taxation. lie included the labourers in these "benefits." Now if mischief come of this, let -the fault or sin of provoking it lie upen the head of him who sugges ted, and of him who delivered such senseless gabble in the Senate. Out of the House there will be scarcely two opinions upon the subject, any mare than there will be upon the question whether at any period of th e his tory atlas country the financial business of the State has been intrusted to a weaker and more inefficient person than Mr. S. Rice last night proved himself to be. In conclusion, we beg once again to congratulate the " R a di ca l s " upon the Chan cellor of the Exchequer of the Ministry, in whose support they have been blaring themselves quite hoarse. For our se4;.,,s, we endear. that we aro heartily ashamed to see such inability—we had almost said imbecility—exhibited by one of the most important functionaries of the State.-- , Times.. The country has waited long for the financial statement of the Chancellor of the )xchequer, and has waited, perhaps, with the greater patience, that it did not expect him to announce anything of a particularly gratifying nature. The Whigs have always been powerful in tickling the cars of John Bull, and have never shown themselves very zealous or very skilful in the mere useful duty of relieving his pocket. They are magnifi cent fellows at all sorts of Reform, with the single exception of such Reform as tends to diminish the amount of public money passing annually through their own hands. Of all the institutions of the State the Exchequer is the only one for which they'seem to have any . regard ; arid here it must be ad mitted their affection is the most ardent and their reverence the most profound that can be Imagined. Destructives in everything else, it cannot be denied that in all that relates to customs, excise, and assessed taxes, the Whigs are thorough Conservatives. This praise we most frankly bestow nppn the Whigs, but with the qualification, neverthel ess , th at the pos4seinn of office is an indispensabl e condition to the development of their conservative, or shall we not rather call it their retentive, disposition ? When out of office the case is different. They have not then the means of understanding so well as they do at the present moment the necessity, the im portance, and the various uses of a large public income. Their isynipathies 11.9 w accordingly in a different direction. Their versatile minds become familiar at mice with another class of ideas. The elasticity with which the Whigs adapt themselves to the circumstances of their actual position. is unquestionably one of the most distinguished of their merits. In this respect we must admit their decided superiority to their stubborn and in flexible oppenentp. A regular Conservative entertains and pro fesses pretty much the same opinion oil the subject of taxation whether it be his lot merely to pay taxes, or hisbetter fortune to receive a share of their produce. But between a Whig when he is a tax payer, and a Whig when he is a tax receiver, the diffe rence is extreme. In the one case no man is so sensitive to the danger of impairing the public resources ; in the other there is no danger in his view, but that of taking too much out of the pockets of the people. To-day, what the Govern ment requires is the measure of what the nation ought to pay ; to-morrow, what the nation can afford to pay is the utmost that the Government ought to require, Mr. Spring Ri ce , if h e were not Ch ancel l or of the 14xehequer, would be as great an enemy to taxation as Mr. Hume • Mr. Hume, if he were Ch ance ll or o f t h e Exchequer, would be as great a fri en d t o t axa ti on as M r . S pr i ng Ri ce. Th e whole difference is that of position. The country has had cx- Perie"e enough of tho Whig;.',. IPA nut of nitiqg, that what we have above stated is the literal truth. It was not from Mr. Spring Rice, therefore, that they expected any considerable diminution of taxes. But yet hope was, we be lieve, entertained that something from which the country might have uxpesieneod a little relief, had it been merely to save appearances, would have been attempted. If such a hope was ever cherished by the people, the proceedings of last r s l e ig n l t i e t d lu s s t t ri l l i g a:e t t u o tt o e i r e ly n c o x us ti p nguished it.

Moral force was all that was ne cessA.7y to enable the Ministry to carry the present measure in • the sense manner they did thC Reform Bill. Tho motion was then put and adopted by acclamation. Mr. TECLON next moved a vote of thanks to the Members of Southwark, and in a neat speech eulogised their public oanduct. The motion was seconded by Mr: 'WALTERS, and carried Unanimously. Mr. HUMPIIERY, M. P., then came forward to acknowledge this honour. He could not agree with the sentiments uttered at a previous stage of the proceedings in reference to throw : ing back the Municipal Bill on the Lords, though it were not exactly to the liking of the nation, when it had undergone their alterations. He would be for t a ki ng i t, if t h ey gave almost any thi ng like it, as another opportunity would be afforded next Session of supplying the deficiency. The posi tion ofthe present Ministry he held was not over stable. They were not liked by the King, and his Majesty might dis miss them. In that case the Corporations would all vote for Tory Members, and by this means they might obtain a majo rity in - the House of Commons. In ract, they were not so very far behind in this respect at present. These were the reasons that would induce bins to take the Bill from their Lordships in the shape they might choose to give it, as there was no fear of its being ultimately carried in a perfect form. Mr. D. W. HARVEY, \I.P., addressed the meeting. He said it might be said his doctrines were revolutionary ; but he would - ask what that term meant ? He held that it was foolish to he terrific& at - names: - A trion,g-erther--tierrt,rs, irs answer to this question, he would say that were a drunken man to be come a temperate man, this would be wrevolution ; but would any one infer bad consequences from, such a revolution ? In short, to reform the House of Lords was not to destroy it or pull it down. It must be reformed, though it inay cot be de stroyed. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, which honour he acknowledged, and the meeting separated about four o'clock. - LEEK (STAFFORDSHIRE).

"RICH A 111 l GAUNT. TAVISTOCK. FROM OUR PLYMOUTH CORRESPONDENT.) TUESDAY NIGHT, AUG. 11.--This evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Tavisteck was held at the Guildhall, convened by ft Terrell, Esq., the.Portreeve, pur suant to a requisition from 93 of the inhabitants. Its object was to take into consideration the propriety of an Address to his Majesty's Ministora, and the best means of ensuring the safety of the Municipal Corporation Bill before the House of Lords. The meeting was both numerously and respectably attended. About seven o'clock, the hour appointed for its commencement, H. Terrell, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, took a retrospective view of the Corporations as hitherto ex isting; the perversion of the funds of Corporate Charities from their legitimate channels was notorious; they had been turned to defeat the best and dearest objects of Englishmen, and by this misapplication endeavoured to suborn men, equally capable with %hem:elves of acting uprightly, if not more so. It W 42 not to be expected that such a course of things could go on ; Lord John Russell had, therefore, in the proposed measure, endeavour e d t o d o not hi ng more han restore these Corporations to act as they were originally intended, for the benefit of the cities and towns in which they wero situated, than for any few to enjoy that exclusive privilege. lie the Chairman, was aware t h at t h e su b ject would be brought before them that evening, and he should most attentively bear the ob servations of any gentleman on it. • Mr. FLAMANK ;;;,`; rose sA.said—The worthy Portreeve had already st . ttekl object of the present meeting, and he agreed with him i his conclusion, that this was the time and this the opportunity for carrying that desirable object into effect. .It did appear that the Lords had set themselves in direct opposition to the people, by manifesting a desire to mu tilate those very measures which the people conceived and wore fully convinced to be for their benefit. He was aware, and so was every thinking observer„ that the Corporations were among the strongholds of Toryism, which was a sort of doctrine or creed, that would by divine right have the mass of the people bend to the few t fod Oiat low usurp those privi leges iuteildo to he enjoyed by the many ; it was to this latter desirable position he would have those other wise valuahlo inVitution4 re3tcwed. Ile had said that these Corporatiim woe ‘e among the strong holds of Toryism, a set oil rotten boroughs acting corruFtedly for the advantage of a faction / but he considered the strongest of the Tory stroveg holds was the Church ; for he s:iw in the ministei 01 . .ovevy parish, with b u t f ew except i ons , a Tory ,;;;(-.14.

The hearing of evidence of Town Clerks and Aldermen, Iv a, no doubt would be the greatest sufferers where the emolu ments of office were great st, was truly ridiculous. Wss it to be conceived that a British legislature could sacrifice the re venues of the Corporation Charities at the• shrine of a few fat altermen (laughter and cheers) and their relations. If the Lords chose to send the Bill back to the House of Commons, mutilated . agreeably to their wishes, he had sufficient confi dence in that House to believe they would not accept it at their hands. It was at one time suggested to address the Lords on the subject, but he had long since held an insuper able objection to addressing the House of Lards ; one of his strongest objections was, that the Bishops were in that Eloaaa ; he would ask the meeting was it not derogatory to religie e , that men who had taken upon themselves so sacred an office, should be found the best part of their time in Londareebeading political meetings. Ought not these men, instentd of trying to be Lords over God's heritage, rather be flock ? Was it p oss ibl e, h e would ask. teotaa„, a parallel be tween a Paul and a Phill potts, or even ensamples to the Can terbury, who had hi s 25,00 v 3/. the Archbishop of .aar for doing, nothing. Ho could not petition such men ; did ever the Bishop's con tend for the rights O s t h e people, that they might be relieved from any oppressive beo t h en ? Di d . they unite as one man unshackle the sho es, - . to whose only difference with themselves was the colour of his skin : and was it for this they would perpetuate slavery? But if they took a glance, at the compo sition of the House of Lords, and such a question would natu rally arise *hen men assumed too muck, who and what were ; they, or rather, what position in life would they have been ;In but for some ancestor, who was a mighty warrior, a <vise cram eillor, or astute judge; and for this these were called up to assist in the council of the nation. But was wisdom heredi tary—would any man present trust a piece of cloth in the hands of another, to be made into aecoat, merely because the • great-great-mrandlather of the latter was a tailor?—( Laughter and cheers.) lie (Mr. I'.) contended that no part of the lee gislaturenshoultrksirresporaible_; the Comm ons were .Z r' , stale to th e i r const i tuents, the Ministers to the King and tile people; but the Lords to no one, and an irresponsible power was downright tyranny. So, then, he would not address the Lords, but his Majesty's Ministry, who enjoy the ero-ie e confi dence of every well-disposed, thinking subject in the empire, Ho had it from good authority, that the Tories l oeld the power to turn out the present ministry when they ; i ferceived an op_ portunity, but it would be their fault if ouch an opportunity a should be afforded. Th e speaker concluded b y mov i ng the ddress., J. RUNDLE, Esc`., M. P. ste. 1, that he had much pleasure in seconding the resolutis%o and was in fact highla delighted in an opportunity to ae ain address his old friends. He said it would ill become "s Mon oil that the sio tidStock to be backward i n offering an on'.. I of -Wet of Corporation R e for m i n the present state me - . esaSure, seeing they had hitherto been one of the fore mos' m advocating at all times civil and religious liberty. He „ek convinced that the House of Lords would throw out the Bill if the people did not show a bold manly front against such a step. He was truly pleased to see the perseverance of Mi nisters in bringing forward another essential measure---he meant the Irish Church Reform. Of himself, he might say, that he could not be guilty of injustice to any nice, because that individual conscientiodsly thought proper to entertain different notions of religion to himself. Reform was neces sary, and he had sufficient confidence in his countrymen to know, that they would adopt none but dispassionate means in attaining that desirable object. France bad fought and bled profusely for republicanism, and also for despotism, and then for monarchy, and was at this moment a traitor to that very liberty she fought and bled for five years ago, and sw ore t o protect. Englishmen had not gained their present position by an effusion of blood, but had steadily and manfully demand ed, and when obtained had maintained them to their credit. These bloody revolutions which had inundated France could not obtain for her those advantages that . we had by calm per severance; nor did he scruple to declare, that we should not see five years more without another bloody revolution in that ill-fated country. Sir Robert Peel had acknowledieed that it was of no use to look up to the House of Lords as in days gone by: for unless lie could command a majority in the House of Commons, it would be useless to undertake office: The House of Lords had set its face against all improvement, either moral or commercial : the Great Westero Railway Bill was thrown out last, and to all appearance it would stand a narrow chance this Session of a similar fate. The floe. Gen tleman here entered into the comparative merits of the Cor poration Reform Bill, but which, we regret to state, for want: of room we must omit, and concluded by seconding the reso lution, which was carried unanimously. On the Chairman quitting the Chair, the thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to him for his readiness in call ing the meeting, and f or hi s con d uct i n t h e C ha i r. - The Portreeve, in a neat speech, acknowledged the honour, and the meeting dissolved. 131, A.
