Similar measures liati now been resorted to, end as might be expected, the same causes seemed likely' to produce the same effects. The couttuct of those to whom the people were op posed, reminded him of a table which he had learnt when a boy. The wolves had long waged war tvith the sheep, but the litter were protected by their faithful dogs. The wolves at last said to the sheep, " we will make peace with you if you consent to give up your dogs." The silly sheep assented to this insidious proposition, and the consequence was, they were devoured. A fable wes . nothing without its application. The wolves, who were the enemies of the Livery, would not 1 61 1 them—their fleece was too valuable for that ; but they would very often shear them. He, however, was convinced that the Livery of Lon don were not like the sheep in one thing : he was certain that they would never give lip their faithful dogs to the wolves, who would fain de• your them. The Resolutions were then read and agreed to, very few hands being held up against them. Mr. CROOK moved the Thanks of the Hall to Mr. Sheriff Parkins, for his manly, independent, and impartial conduct on Michaelmas Day last ; a Vote of Censure against the late Lord Mayor ; and Thanks to the present Lord Mayor, for his impartial conduct on this occasion. The Resolutions were severally put and carried. Mr. Sheriff PARKINS returned thanks, but -ex pressed his reluctance to address the Livery till be had seen what his enemies meant to do to him, that he might prove he was not to be ftight ened, that he was not to be deterred loin doing his duty. He had been called " a radical ;" he did not know what vas meant hy" a radical ;" he however owned himself . a radical reformer of abuses, a radical friend to the chartered rights of the City of Loudon, and he hoped to be found a radical Englishman to the last. He felt himself placed in a proud situation by the vote of the Li very. He hoped to deserve their thanks slid bet ter before the close of his Shrievalty, for he would devote every hour of his life to their service. Mr. Hu NT came forward to express his senti ments. A Gentleman near him said, lie woold " Spoil all."—(Hissing, laughter, and applause.) —He hoped, however, that notwithstanding this rettiatk, he, as well as another, might be per mitted to deliver his opinion. He could not Spoil all," as they had already carried the principal Resolutions intended to be submitted to them. If what he said should appear imptopee, he would not be offelided at their tellirie hiot so. In that place, on various occasions, while Gen tlemen had asserted the right of the Lively to meet, they had thrown a slur on meetings that bad taken place elsewhere.— (Cries of " No, no)") —He contended words to this effect had been used by the Seconder of the Resulu ions that day, and by the Gentleman who had follow ed him. Mr. Rowe:B.oer spoke to order, and contended that the Resnlations being carried, Mt. Hunt had no right to speak, but on the question about to put on the proposed vote of thanks to the Lord htityor, which which was the very Resolution that bad not .yet been agreed to. Af T. HUNT insisted on his right to speak. Mr. Rowcaoer maintained that he was out of °rite!, and the tumult became so peat that nei ther could be heard. The Resolution was then read, and silence be ing partly restored., Mr. AUNT said, he would now only—(Here he was agaioloterropted by loud and vehement op position front all parts of the Hall, mixed with cries of " Hear trite," " Order," " Silence," Ste.) their permission, he said, lie must be Wood, (Hisses.)—Did they come there, he would ask, detertnined to hear but one side of the question ? (Ike noise continued, and he appealed to the Crier if he had not a right to be heat d.)—He !lett , told them that it was decided that lie had a right to address them, and addresS them he would. He bad attended many Poblie Meetings, but be had never seen any Meeting so tnmul- Nona as a Common 11311.—(After vainly attempt- ing to gain a hearirg, alter angrily remonstrating • whit the Crier, and haiously repelling Mr. How croft., who appeared desirous of expo4tulating with hint, he found it impossible to proceed, and it length consented to retire.) Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, The LORD MAYOR re!urned thanks, and ex - pressed his readiness at all times to do his titny. He regretted that the speakers had '' travelled out of the record," as a lawyer would say, to censure a brother Magistrate (Alderman :Atkins), for such he was not ashamed to call hint, not- withstanding all that bad been said against him. He had acted with that Gentleman' on various occAiions, and had,altrays found biro anxious to do his duty.

A Document of•soine and of consi derable interest at the present thotnent has reach ed ns, contained in the Orinv'o Gazelle. It is a proposition front the natives of Ireland, in behalf of themselves awl others, and seconded by Col. English, tehose oante is affixed, to form a Colimy in rite intert,tr of Veneztiela, to•be called New Erin, and its capital New Dublin. The btmtla ries of tire settlement arc stated in the following LOPEZ, but it ought tobe considered, that the case was materially different. The charges against the Honourable Baronet were 36 in number, and he was found guilty upon as Many indictments, for advancing 351. a piece to 'a majority of the voters ; whereas the offence of Mr. SWANN was for giving up, a promissory-note for 201., which he had paid several years before the Election . to save a labourer from arrest by a miller, for flour sold to keep his family from starving,—and which note was not worth one farthing ; the said la bourer sold it to Mr. SWANN'S adversaries at the last Election, and the fellow voted against his bunefactor.

[FROM THE COVENTRY MERCURY.) - - - - COVENTRY, Nov. 15.—1 t is with reluctance we inform our Readers, that a Meeting is intended to be held this morning, on Greyfriars-green, for the purpose of passing a vote of censure on the Man chester Magistrates. It was originally announced to be held in Cross Cheaping, but the Magistrates declared their determination not to allow any as sembly to be held on that spot. We understand the Meeting will not be confined entirely to the residents in the city, who may be inclined to mis pend their time, hut that we are to he favoured with the attendance of numerous bodies from the neighbouring - villages. Upwards of 500 of the principal inhabitants have been sworn as special constables ; and we are happy to add, that every o'her precaution has been taken by the Magis trate to insure the peace and safety of the city. Mr. Ellice (one of our Representatives) having been 'requested to preside on the present occasion, declined the honour, asserting that he had parti cular business which would detain him in town. Some remarks having, however, been made on his conduct, this Gentleman transmitted a letter to the Secretary, iu explanation. FURTHER ACCOUNT. [FROM THE BIRMINGHAM CHRONICLE:3 On Monday last an attempt was made to hold hold a Meeting of the Radicals at Coventry. It was a perfectly miserable abortion. About 500-Radi cals assembled at Greyfriars-green, at the entrance of the Warwick road ; and a great majority of these were working people from the Country, who had been induced to attend by the pressing invitations of the leaders. Wooler bad been announced as Chairman, but the death of an uncle prevented his attendance. Mr. James Grant took the Chair, and was supported by Edmonds and Lewis of Coventry. The orators had not held forth long, before a body of the spectatOrs bole down upon them, overturned the Reformers and their stage, and trampled their re• volutiouary flogs in the mud.. • This produced a short skirmish, in which stones and sticks were used by some of the mob. The Meeting was at length allowed to be held by one of the Aldermen, who assured them they should not he interrupted. Accordingly the orators again mounted their platform, and began a se cond series of harangues, in which the topic of the Manchester Massacres was discussed by Edmonds and Lewis. Resolutions, after the usual nature, were proposed by Lewis, which were car ried unanimously, but the attempts to raise shouts of applause, as the Resolutions were read, were miserably feeble. A l'etition, in the spirit of the Resolutions, was ordered to be sent to the-Mem bers for Coventry, to - be by them presented to the higher Authorities. After voting thanks to Major Cartwright, with three times three, to Hunt, and to each other, the Meeting broke up, and the po pulace quietly returned home. THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed Last Night.

The persons ninicing this suggestion are named NEWLAND, WALTON, HERRING, and JEFFEREY, and the reasons they asign in their Met u wial to the Government of Venezuela are the follow ing : _ _ " The efforts in the different Philanthropic Societies esta blished in Great Britain and Ireland for ameliorating the condition of the indigent classes, and for the suppression of niendieity, having prOttil inadequate to proeure and provide food and raiment for the numerous poor with whose main terntuce the parishes are hurthetied, it is proposed to form a Company devoted exclusively to the purpose of directing the emigrations which antotally tape place from that Kingdom, and more particularly trom Ireland, into fertile conotries, where it is probable the Colonists will better their cinulitions, and in the end become beneficial not only to the States which they still have left, but also to those which they 'nay choose for their establishment. "iii s country so distinguished as this fur patriotism and enterprising genius, vast means cannot tail to be obtained for organizing a similar eompauy or society which ‘vould he under the protection of wealthy and distinguished men, It is not presumptuous to say, that no part of the globe is better adapted to this design t han the prOrillecli Of Venezuela; and with the assistance of the already existing societies, enjoying in their collective capacities important immonities, anti pa tronized as they are by numerous philanthropists of rank and tontine, it will be easy to direct the migration to this part of the world when it shall be !,sown. The project has received tho sanction of the Veneznelean Government, and that it has aisigned a district of country fully adequate to the intended object." It further appeals by the documents before us, th;tt this proposal hal been laid before the Legis lature of Venezuela i bin with the determination of that body respecting it we ate not yet inform ed. We shall probably receive it by the next ar rival front that quarter. [The Times ] INSURRECTION AT SANTA MAURA. Extract of a Letter, dated Corfu, October 7. " The systrin of toxation which now prevails in these Islands, and which is becoming daily more burdensome, has for some time been a sub ject of si-riots apprehension with those who are &quail!! ed with their affairs, and know the na tore and extent of their resources. The extraor dinary expences attending variouo undertakings, such as the erection ut a new Palace for the Lord lligh Commissioner,• the exorbitant salaries granted to the Members of the Senate and the Legit} ire Body, together with (lie new appoint ments created by Sir Thomas Maitland, so greatly exceed the regilar revenues of these states, that it has become necessary to devise extraordinary measures for supplying the defi ciency. The new Constitution having given Sir Thomas Maitland a direct influence and controni in the nomination of the principal functionaries, the propositions emanating front his Excellency experience bot• little resistance on the part of the Legislative Assembly, disposed, us the Deputies obviously are, to support all projects tending to fill the public chest from whence their salaries are derived. " In addition to the ordkary sources of re venue, the Government daily resort to new taxes. In September last, an impost was laid on the flocks and herds, which ate very numerous iii the nuoititainous parts of Sawa Maura, Cephalonia, and Zoite. The experiment of thi s financial in e a. sure having been made on the first of these Island 4, the country people remonstrated with the Local Authotities ; butt before redress could he obtained, an insutrection began in the village of Slachiotes, and soon spread through the rest of the Island; the people opposed the Collectors of Custionc, whose Chief, Sig. Sicilian°, was killed. Military force having been sent nom the garrison, the insurgents on the 3d inst. proceeded towards the city. Alajor Stavin, the British Commanda:lt, with part of the garrison, took up a position on the hill that commands the main road, with a view to protect the town ; and, oil the approach of the insurgents, a regular action took place, in which it is said that 13 meo , were killed, and several wounded on both sides. Aljor Stavin having retired with his detachment to the fortress, in or der to secure- it, the country people entered the town, and assailed and biota the houses of those persons who were known to have suppotted the new Tait,. Sir Thomas Maitland being absent tram the Islands when the news of the affair reached . Corfu, Sir Frederick Adam sent 350 men, with artillery, to Santa Militia. This reinforce trient not proving - suf ieieiit, a second was sent in Iriste, and hopes are entertained that with its as sistance the insurrection will be quel!ed. " There are some apprehensions that the same spirit tarry manifest itself in other islands, parti cularly in ZAnte and Cephalonia, the inhabitants of which might make a stand in their mountains for a long time. In that case our situation would become very critical, as the British forces are at present hardly adequate to the garrison duty at this and the other fortified places in the island; and in consequence of the existing system of Ad ministration in this c.;outitty, the majority of the natives can no longer be depended on." * 4. * As the above account is taken from The (Old) Times, we hardly never warn our Readers against placing :thy dependence on the authenti city of any reports that m'sy appear in a Paper so notoriously hostile to every measure that Govern ment may adopt, however expedient, necessary, or anperative.
